I'll fireup the computer and check it out. . . Plan A) it worksPlan B) Use CS3 and PP2 on macPlan C) Use Final Cut Express on mac, and I know THAT works. . . Back in a tick. . .OK: I'm back, and here's the news. . . NO go with PP 1.5 (I've heard there are "add on programs" to help).Plan B same thing, no go. . . there is a HDV pre-set but it doesn'tseem to be "live". I've used Plan C and know that works.My suggestion is that the effort to get Premier Pro up and editing HDVis probably worth your effort, the final product will be so worthy ofyour time. Please let me know what you use to get there with PP1.5Robin --- In [email protected], "Jean Chang" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:>> Robin,> > Thanks for the info. Sounds like thie HV-20 is a winner.
