hdr fx1 info

no. dont have lumiereHD plugin.

I think the latest release of Final Cut Express supports HDV import.

I havent had time to play with iMovie HD yet - but it does a sensible thing with HDV footage, it converts it to something else.

HDV is NOT editable in its native MPEG2 form.

Its an MPEG2 stream with IBP frames.

I do have an HDR-FX1 - its fantastic.

Lara manged to capture HDV footage from my HDR-FX1 onto my laptop last night using Imovie HD it was pretty straightforward.

Imovie puts copies of the captured clips inside the project file/bundle as separate quicktime clips.

These are NOT mpeg2 clips but in something called 'Apple Intermediate format'.
MPEG2 is not editable

Just did a little fx shoot with the hdr-fx1 - editing in imovie HD wasnt going to work well.

so i bought a copy of final cut express - which works really well at editing hdv footage.
