    Panasonic HDX-900 and HVX-200

    Got a project coming up that will include footage shot (1080i or 1080p, not sure yet) with the HDX-900 on DVCPRO tapes and secondary footage shot with the HVX-200 recorded to a firestore. My plan is to offline in SD, and then later online at another facility in HD. I'm going to downconvert the tapes to DV50 with matching TC for the offline (I don't have an HD deck in house) but I'm not sure how to go about the stuff from the HVX-200. It'll make MXF's, but how do I go about a SD offline with HD MXF files? I feel like transcoding would be a waste of time and problematic for the online. Or is it as simple as just mixing the SD/HD footage in the timeline? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    If I transcoded the HD MXF's from the HVX-200 to SD and then batch imported them in an HD project later, would that give me the reults I need: offline in SD and online in HD?

    What is your reason for wanting to work in SD?

    So my new wife asks me about my "Avid Forever" tattoo... I told her she's an old girlfriend who was always coming up with new things for me to try...

     I don't have an HD monitor or a deck. When it's time to online, I'll rent another facility.
