workflow with multiple formats - prores 422 & dvcpro hd

i'm working on a project that has multiple video formats. I've got footage that are Apple Prores 422(HQ), some are DVCPRO HD 1080p30 and some DVCPRO HD 720p60....and a mix frame rates of 23.98 and 29.97.

What settings should my timeline be set to? (frame size, compressor, frame rate, pixel aspect ration, etc.)

My final output will be for broadcast HD. Any suggestions for the best workflow?

thanks!

Well it depends what your final output format is and how much of each format you have. Generally I'd pick the format you have the most of and conform everything else to that first using ProRes HQ then then start editing. You can muscle it on an open format timeline as well and then media manage to the output format.

thanks for the input.......quick follow-up question, so is it always best to work on a "prores 422 hq" timeline than the "DVCPRO HD" timeline? is prores better quality in the end?
