Aspect HD Real-Time HDV Editing Plug-In for Adobe Premiere Pro

DV Mag by John Jackman If you're moving to HDV, you'll find Aspect HD is a great editing solution that provides real-time previews and higher quality composites than native editing of MPEG-2 files. CineForm Aspect HD is a plug-in for Adobe Premiere Pro that allows capture and editing of HDV footage. At press time, Aspect (www.cineform.com) was compatible with both JVC and Sony HDV formats, and CineForm announced upcoming compatibility with JVC's new ProHD 24p products.
