Jimbo...


The advice to edit in SD seems to be the best way to do it rather than edit in HD and then convert at the end. :)

Simple. Just choose project settings that reflect your desired output.

The conversion of HD content in an SD project should be realtime when using the "Print To Tape" option, as well as previewing timeline playback.

If you want to "Print To File" (convert an HD project to a single SD file), the render time will vary depending on the depth of your timeline edits and system speed.
