This is for all those people who get stuff thrown at them, from all sorts of cameras. Which, unfortunately, is all to common. Or what happens in inexperienced people get all sorts of formats and don't know what to do with them. I am in favor of erring on the safe side too. But I am awfully tempted to download the demo and throw all I have at it to test. But for output all I have is an SD Mojo...so I am hampered there.

At some point, under some strange combination of events this will fail. What Avid is doing is so complicated that it is bound to break down at some point. Pixel just don't like being scaled and mixing and matching field orders and frame rates will at some point yield an unpredictable result. IMO, if you want to play it safe, conform everything to match the timeline in advance of editing. I hate be skeptical, but I don’t this is something that you can say is fool proof.

Avid MC automatically adds a plugin that is designed to do this upscale in very smart ways. It isn't just scaling it and then repeating a frame. MUCH better.
