Online/offline workflow PPRO

Question

I have experimented with 720x480 dv ntsc widescreen versions of my AVCHD files for editing/cutting on a laptop.....so that I can then move the drive over to my 6-core tower to then reconnect the AVCHD original files for final encoding at full res. I make my cuts/edits in a 720x480 dv ntsc widescreen seq.....then copy them and paste them into an AVCHD seq and reconnect .mts files without issue.
Problem: I do ALOT of multicam work. Would like to be able to "cut" the multicam on my laptop in DV NTSC but when I try to bring the nested multicam seq over into an AVCHD @ 1920x1080 I can't get the "cut" multicam to resize. Because I am unable to change the seq settings for the existing DV NTSC seq.
Am I missing something?
The only way I could get this to work was to import the NTSC files into the AVCHD seq. (which makes them appear smaller in the frame) and cut them there, then reconnect originals with no prob.
Is there a way to do multicam editing with the use of lower res files? without this resizing issue?
Please help. Thanks! :o)

Allow me to give you what I believe to be a valid reason why I am being "impatient". 
That was part of a well thought-out post that deserves a thoughtful reply.  You have to realize that most people only spend a limited amount of time in the forum.  Of those that do visit, only a select percentage will probably have the same type of media and workflow that you do.  Of those, many will not have, or have had, the same problem(s) that you do.  Of those that do, only a few may have a solution that worked for them.  You have to give those few folks time to get to your post, read and understand it, and craft an answer.
You see many posts getting almost immediate replys.  Most of those have one of two things in common: they're easy to answer by almost anyone because the folks posting are just getting started with Pr.  Or the folks answering are members of the forum "regulars" who spend much more time here than the average member, have a ton of experience, and come across those questions pretty quickly after they've been posted.
Your question isn't run-of-the-mill, and these days, there aren't a whole lot of people who edit offline with Pr any more.  I don't, which is why I couldn't help you out with technical info.  It's just not part of my workflow.  Plus, you posted at a time of day when the usual company of regulars didn't appear to be online.  And once they got online, it's likely they had to wade through a ton of topics, further delaying any attention to yours.
So if you have hard questions that you expect will need advanced users to help you answer, you should expect to have to wait longer than than the new user who wants to know, "What sequence preset do I use?"  And you have to be prepared for the possibility that no one knows the answer, or even where to start.  Users like that will usually just not post anything, further adding to the appearance that you're being ignored.
As a Community Professional, which badge often indicates a forum moderator also, I advocated patience and lowered expectations because demanding a response in all caps so soon after your OP is poor forum etiquette, and may alienate what few users remain that may actually be able to help you.
