I currently shoot with 2 fx1000s in 16:9 SD, and now with the HMC150 added into the mix
I have to decide what to do with the footage.
I am deliberately trying to avoid shooting in HD with the Sonys for good reason: I edit all my own weddings and am trying to keep my processing time to a minimum. I currently already have a backlog of wedding videos, and the processing time for the HD kills me. I do understand the advantages in shooting HD, and have already done so, but I do not feel the benefits are worth the extra time yet. I have four weddings coming up in two weekends, so I am uptight about keeping my workflow as quick as possible.
My first thought in answer to my own question is to use upshift to create proxies for the HMC150 footage, then edit the mixed footage and render to standard widescreen.
Your thoughts?
