What am I missing here?
Ulead's MediaStudio Pro 8 already supports proxy editing of HDV, which offers the key advantage of allowing a user to edit HDV files with slower computers.
According to the system recommendations, the NON-PROXY requirements for HDV are as follows: Intel® Pentium® 4 3.0 GHz or higher with Hyper-Threading technology as verified at the following link: http://tinyurl.com/9tg83
That's the NON-PROXY recommendation.
So let's consider the alternative.
If you use PROXIES, then you can get away with a much slower computer to edit the HDV files using Ulead MediaStudio Pro 8.
What's to stop Ulead from using this formula for AVCHD?
Yes, I realize AVCHD is far more computationally-intensive.
But remember: one does not have to capture AVCHD files using a Firewire connection.
One only needs an SD card reader or a USB connection to transfer the AVCHD video to one's computer and these transfers should be fairly quick.
If one uses PROXIES, then one should be able to easily see one's edit decisions.
Then produce the final output by linking back to the original AVCHD files.
Why wouldn't this work?
Could somebody at Ulead chime in?
