I think the easiest thing to do, if you want to deliver in both
formats, is to shoot and edit in HDV, while protecting for the SD
aspect ratio. This is a pretty common practice, although is does
force you to "dumb down" the visual impact of the 16x9 space. Design
your graphics, so that all the important info is inside the SD
space. Output your HD master and get your SD master by doing an edge-
crop downconvert.
Doing it that way does not maximize the impact of 16x9, but it does
work and I know for a fact that many productions are trying to do it
that way. If you have the budget and time to pan/scan every scene,
of course you will get a somewhat better result, but many productions
do not have that luxury.

You are talking about going from 16:9 to 4:3.
That almost certainly means major re-editing anyways.
Cropping, scaling, pan & scan, additional cuts, timing changes, etc.

Subject: HDV down convert to SD Help
Hi
Just wondering if anyone out there is shooting HDV and
downconverting to SD, as some clients
want thing shot in HDV, but delivered in SD as well.
If so, which programme are you using to downconvert the final edit
etc, basically what work flow are you
using to get to SD.
Thanks for any help.
Thanks
Stoka Strickland
