I'm planning on a project this year which will combine HDV footage from an XH-A1 and a Panasonic GH2. Normally for the Canon, my project would be HDV 1440 x1080, but with the Panasonic codec, I was wondering what the least egregious project settings would be.

I've been told to set the Canon to it's pseudo 24p mode and to shoot the Panny at that frame rate, rather than 1080i. Then, set the project to 1920 x 1080 and 24p. The bulk of the footage will be shot on the A1.

Any thoughts?

A1 footage will fit nicely in a 1920x1080 sequence.
