I am still looking for a workable and effective workflow with the Everio GZ-HD7. Using PowerDirector Express, I can convert the files to mpeg2 and use it in Premiere Pro 1.0. But when I export the video, (as far as I know,) it squashes the widescreen footage, creating black letterboxes on both sides, and I cannot open the file with Media Player Classic. I may check into getting a complient codec to read the exported files.
So, some progress is being made, thankfully. We will see whether I will need to purchase a commercial video converter or new editing (NLE) software soon.
I hope the ideas will come, and I need to sit down and brainstorm some film ideas! Bonsai!
Well, God bless,
Thanks for listening,
