I have been using FCP 7 for the past couple of years and so I've been capturing Pro Res and editing in Pro Res. I have a Matrox MXO 2 mini so I can capture in a variety of codecs. When I tried PP on my old projects it had no problem with the Pro Res during editing, but the encoding took longer than it usually did with FCP. I've got a shoot coming up soon so I'll capture it in HDV. It is a baseball tournament event video so it probably won't make a difference anyway. Normally I shoot multi cam shoots of live theatre and with direct to disc recording. Some of my clips are over two hours (dance shows). I'm a little bit nervous about doing this in HDV because with earlier versions of PP and HDV I was getting audio drift during long clips. Gerry
