Importability and workflow for 1440 x 1080 (60i or 50i) using FCE HD
Hi All
Migrating from iMovie HD, I have been using my old DV handycam for short clips using FCE HD (4.0.1) on my Mac Pro for at least 5 years now. All the clips I make need to be and are turned into 4:3 VGA or QVGA at 30 fps.
But, the camera is getting to the end of it's life. Looking at new cameras, I see specs that I fail to understand... The closest thing I see is that some cameras can output format 1440 x 1080 (60i and 50i), a 4:3 format which can be generated by for instance the Sony FDRAX53.
Can this type of video be imported into my old version of FCE HD? If so, is there something I need to know about the workflow? If not, are there other cameras that can natively give me a 4:3 format that can easily be imported?
Thanks in advance for any input.
