I have a 30 minute 3 camera shoot video that i need to edit, 2 of the cameras were HC1 HDV and the 3rd was mini DV.

I dont really want to convert the HD down to DV id rather stick with HD, whats the best way to edit the DV footage in with the HD footage and keep it looking as good as possible and the same size all the way through ?

thanks for any info

what's your final output? - I would suggest using Gear Shift and work with proxies. Then just shift gears and it will replace the dv proxies with the m2t files. It's hard enough doing a single stream of m2t let alone 3. As for editing the 3 cams, I'd suggest using either US2 or Excalibur. My preference is US2 because of all the little extras, but that's just me, others swear by excalibur, and the best part is the free trial. You don't even have to buy them right now, and you can still use em :).
