Just wondering if anyone else can think of a more efficient way than this to import and edit footage from the 550D in CS3 to edit alongside HDV footage.
I have tried using Mpeg Streamclip to convert the H.264 files to a MOV file (since I cant edit mpeg 4 clips). I have also used Neoscene to convert the files to an avi. Both outputs deliver warmer footage compared to the original (although under heavy grading, the neoscene clips hold up better). Trouble is, since I am editing the footage alongside that which was shot on my FX1s, the sequence resolution is 1440 x 1080i (with rectangle pixels at 1.33). So either output means I have to render the 550D footage again anyway.
I can just about edit the h.264 footage natively , although the render time is quite excessive so i'd prefer not to. Has anyone found a more efficient method of combining these components?
