Bling, bling..., Waikiki, Hawaii, October '07, artistic view.
Tonight I spent several hours trying to transfer HDV files from a miniDV tape to Premiere Pro CS3, without much success. It looks like Adobe did not implement yet full support for the 1920 x 1080 interlaced HDV format. Amazing, iMovie could read those files without any problems for quite some time. An intermediate way which I tried, was to read first with iMovie, and then read files from iMovie into Premiere Pro. This works but the image quality is beginning to degrade. Can be used in an emergency only. We need to wait till Adobe addresses that issue in Premiere.
