Thanks a lot for that very thorough answer ! I have imported all my AVCHD and XAVC (converted in MP4 by APP - why ..? ) and regarding what you just wrote, I must add that I have not only shot in these two different formats, first of all because I wasn't really sure which one to choose .. but most of all because I started using XAVC for its 100fps possibilities (with slow-motion in mind) before I realised the image on my monitor was cropped so I got a bit puzzled and switched to AVCHD so that I could get a larger field of view (on my monitor at least - not knowing how the cropped XAVC would come out once imported in APPb..). So now I have 25 fps AVCHD files 1920x1080 and 100 fps XAVC (mp4) files 1280x720 I intend to make a clip for web publication. I know that AVCHD offers overall better image quality but greatly slows down APP workflow and that XAVC (MP4) is more suitable for quick editing/rendering and that it has sufficient quality for web viewing. So now if I choose to first drop a (XAVC) MP4 file to create a sequence alike, I will then have to set the frame size of all the AVCHD files that I drop after to the same size as the sequence, which will require a bit of rendering time but I guess that's the price to pay .. Would you perhaps recommend me to do otherwise ..? ps : now that you said it, I still have to find out what fields and pixel aspect ratio have to do with editing since it seems also important Most grateful Thanks to you !
