Please pardon my ignorance – I don’t use Final Cut (heck, I’ve only used a Mac a couple of times at all).
I edit with Sony Vegas, which allows me to mix any and all sorts of stuff (1080i, 720p, DV, photos of all sizes, whatever) on the timeline (either direct or through the trimmer) and it handles the conversions as necessary to whatever I have defined the project specs to be on render – Is this not the case with other NLE’s?
