Edius 3.61 and Canon HV20 (HDV) - Compatible?

[amfriedman]

I am planning to get the above hi-def camcorder. Does anyone know if I will be able to import and edit the HDV video using Edius pro 3.61?

Thanks.

Yes you can,

Edius pro 3.61 supports both 1080 50i and 720 25p...

Thanks.

I'm in New York. Does 3.61 also support 1080/60i and 1080/24, which are playback resolutions for the US version of the HV20?

[Aristotelis]

Yes 1080/60i is supported, I'm not so sure for 1080/24p though...

Yes 1080/60i is supported, I'm not so sure for 1080/24p though...

Yeah, 3.61 supports Canon's 1440x1080/24F format.

I've got the HV20 and love it. I'm using Edius 3.31 with a Pentium 4 3.2GHz and 1Gig RAM and found the PC couldn't keep up with the camera when I captured. The bits I did capture edited and exported beautifully. When I put the camera onto my wifes core 2 duo laptop it captured perfectly so obviously I need a bit more juice in my PC. Great camera though yuo'll love it.

the PC couldn't keep up with the camera when I captured.

when the PC couldn't keep up, were you capturing and converting to HQ simultaneously, or just capturing the .m2t file?

[Brandy]

Trying to capture and convert.

[amfriedman]

Can 3.61 convert HDV to DV?

[Aristotelis]

Yes it can...

[amfriedman]

Yes it can...

Thanks.
