6
Drag the current-time indicator over the clip so it appears in the Program 
Monitor.
7
Right-click the Behind_the_scenes_SD.avi clip, and choose Scale to Frame Size. 
Play the Timeline to see the SD clip expanded to fill the frame.
Notice that the SD clip has a red line over it in the Timeline. This is because 
it has different attributes (frame size and frame rate) than the sequence. It 
may not play back in real time without first rendering it. So, choose sequence 
settings that match the majority of your source clips. You can render the 
Timeline by pressing Enter (Windows) or Return (Mac OS) on the keyboard.

and position it on top of the first XDCAM clip, in the Video 2 track. Play the

smaller frame size.

No. Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 can edit P2, XDCAM, and AVCHD natively.
2
Speed (no serial capture), reliability (fewer moving parts to store the video), and 
flexibility (clips do not have to be captured or searched serially) are advantages of 
a tapeless workflow.
