What is your AVCHD workflow?

OK - so I've just ordered an HF100... now got to think about what to do with the files / footage!! :eek:

My own set up is a Quad 6600 / 8800 GT PC (ie not Apple) and to start with I'll be backing up for data security and editing then outputting to standard DVD for viewing on a non-HD TV. I will probably also make an HD version for later use - but mo immediate plans to buy an HDTV.

But interested to know what everyone's personal workflow is.

What programs / procedures do you use to download / back up / process / edit / out-put etc?

Thanks

I have had a lot of issues getting decent results.

At the moment I have found Pinnacle Studio 12 to offer the best working enviroment. At the time my copy of premiere didn't support HD. I don't know if CS4 is any different, but I don't really have the money to find out!!
