Use iMovie HD to import/export HDV footage in Final Cut Pro HD

In light of Weblogs, Inc.’s own Jason Calacanis’s blogging of the Sundance film festival, I thought I would post a couple of how-tos for indie film makers looking to work with HD. One comes from Frederic Haubrich over at DVIinfo.net, the other from Mike Curtis at HD for Indies.

Both how-tos give tips and step-by-step instructions for using iMovie as a capture tool to get your HD footage into Final Cut Pro HD using the new Apple Intermediate Codec. Also covered is how to get the footage back out to HDV tape after editing. Enjoy!
