View Full Version : NLE Mac / Final Cut questions from 2007
Jim Fields October 15th, 2007, 07:50 AM Ok guys, I have a V1U and a Mac pro, along with Final Cut Studio 2.
Check this out.
On my 24" Core 2 Duo imac, with FCP2 I was able to capture footage that I shot 1080i60 with the camera via firewire using an easy setup 1080i60. All my software was up to date.
Once I moved to the Mac Pro...FCP will not reconize the camera 1080i60. I have to use AIC codec to import.
Some google searching lead me to a problem V1u owners have with FCP and Mac with importing and having to use AIC instead of an easy setup of HDV 1080i60. No soloution has been found I guess.
Am I the only one who had it working on an iMac, but now find it wont work on a Mac Pro? Are any V1U owners getting an Easy setup of 1080i60 to work with the V1U?, or are you using AIC?
All of my software is up to date.
David McGiffert October 15th, 2007, 10:01 AM Forgive me if this has been covered in other posts,
I am not having any luck solving this:
I am working in HDV in FCP 5.1.4.
After editing in an HDV timeling I'm dropping the footage into an SD anamorphic timeline then outputting via QT conversion
to a self-contained QT movie for use in DVD Studio Pro.
My problem is this; there is a substantial exposure-shift when the footage
is output to the QT movie. The footage is much lighter than what I see
in FCP after exposure correction and color correction.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to fix this?
I am obviously doing something wrong.
Thank you

Konrad Czystowski October 15th, 2007, 04:00 PM Hi
It happened to me second time today. When i finish capturing in FCP 6, I can't close the log and capture window and actually any window. I can't quit and in Final Cut Pro menu I can only hide it, no other option available.
Did anybody have too?
Andrew A. Smith October 15th, 2007, 09:23 PM FCP 6 will not recognize camera at all.Also will not let me select all frames on external video in View dropdown.Computer is new iMac with Intel chipset and 2gig of ram.Any ideas. Thanks Andy Smith
Tony Tibbetts October 16th, 2007, 04:05 AM Okay, here's my problem. I'm editing a short film shot on both the XH-A1 and the HVX200.
The HVX was used solely for slow motion footage. Not my camera so I didn't import the footage from the P2 Card.
I was sent the files in quicktime . mov format. I open them in quicktime and they have a frame rate of 24 fps and they play at 24fps... so immediately I think something is amiss.
I import them into FCP6 and double click on them to open them in the viewer. I haven't put them on the timeline yet. I hit play and the time base looks as if it's playing at 60fps. the motion isn't slowed down but the frame counter at the end of the timecode is obviously 60fps.
I pause the clip and start to frame advance the footage one frame at a time. Uh oh... something isn't right here. Instead of frames going in succession like so:
1,2,3,4,5
They are skipping like so:
1,3,6,8,11
Am I doing something wrong. Can I get 60 fps out of these clips, or did something go wrong when these were extracted from the P2 card?
Help...
David Sayed October 17th, 2007, 11:16 PM I have a Canon HG1 (AVCHD) and an XH-A1 (HDV) and want to edit using FCS2.
I have a MacBook and am contemplating an iMac (2.4GHz, 4GB RAM) for running FCS2. Looking at the software requirements, apparently trying to edit AVCHD on anything but a Mac Pro will not work.
Is it simply the case that it will be slow on an iMac or will it refuse to work at all?
If I really need a Mac Pro, then FCS2 is out of the running for me I'm afraid.
James Brill October 22nd, 2007, 07:43 PM I have an avi file that is 652x272. I want to put it in a SD timeline to be put on a dvd and played on a SD television but still look good and have no compression artifacts. Would Magic Bullet's Instant HD do the trick or am I just SOL?
Ivan Barbarich October 24th, 2007, 05:52 PM We are a multimedia company specializing in the production of royalty free footage. We have a workflow issue that needs to be resolved and everywhere we turn seems to be a dead end. Really hoping that someone here has had a similar problem and has found a solution/workaround and wouldn't mind sharing their knowledge.
Here's our scenario...
We are shooting the bulk of our footage against a green screen on a Panasonic AG-HPX500 P2 camera. The footage is coming out of the camera via sdi and into an Ultimatte 11 compositing device (http://www.ultimatte.com/UltimatteMain/11%20Main.html). From there it is ingested into final cut pro 6 via sdi and a Black Magic Decklink HD Extreme capture card for (hopefully) a live capture.
Now here's the problem...
Our preferred capture format is 720p/60 or 720p/50 uncompressed 8 bit but the only format that we can capture live using the above method is 1080i/50 - Apple ProRes or DVCPro. All other formats inform us that there is no video input (yes, when we try to capture 720p in Final Cut the camera is set to the same).
The whole thing is just very frustrating. Any answers/workarounds to my questions or any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Jeff Kolada October 26th, 2007, 02:09 PM We are shooting a student tv show on the sony v1u in 30pHDV. We are keeping log-sheets to import into FCP for capturing.
Unfortunately when we capture the footage from the batch list, FCP decides that half of our shots should only capture one frame and then go on to the next one. I'm guessing it has something to do with the batch list trying to read in 29.95 and not 30p, but I really don't know what's going on, and we have 10 hours of footage already labeled and organized in the spreadsheet batch list.
Help?
Adam Woodworth October 26th, 2007, 08:21 PM I don't see any way to disable automation playback in Soundtrack Pro 2. I.e., disable the volume envelope so you can hear the audio without the envelope, but not delete the envelope, just disable it.
Anyone know if this is possible? I know Digital Performer can do it, which is why I ask about STP.
Shaughan Flynn October 27th, 2007, 05:32 PM I blogged my experience with installing 10.5 and testing out the FCS apps and some Adobe apps as well.

Elmer Lang October 27th, 2007, 11:51 PM I was hoping there is a way to install Garageband Symphony on another drive. It needs 10 gigs and demands a startup hd while I wanna put it on a FW or SATA drive. If I install on startup drive can I move to FW/SATA or will that screw up GB's way of seeing things? I could re-add them, but was hoping someone has experience that way.
Vince Halushka October 28th, 2007, 12:09 PM I was capturing a pile of clips last nite with no issues. I turned on the Mac this am to get through the last 4 tapes and my preview window is disabled. How do I re-enable the preview window so i can capture again. The project is dv-pal capture if that matters. The FCE still controls the camera and reads vtr ok..just no preview and therefore no capture???
Kevin Sullivan October 29th, 2007, 05:30 AM Before I ask my question, let me state, we have never transfered files from FCP to Avid before. Now that is out of the way:
We have a potential client that is working inhouse on Avid Liquid with Panny 200 P2 MXF files. On other other hand, we work on a FCP Pro 2 system with a variety of file formats in the ProRes HD timeline.
For integration purposes, they have requested that we give them an MXF output of the final project and also of any specific clips they might need. (I do not understand why, since Avid is an open timeline system. Right?)
It seems to me that MXF files are not the correct workflow or possible from FCP . Also, the Avid should be able to handle a HD quicktime file which would be better quality. I could give them a xml file and the tapes but, we are half a world apart. Files would be better because we can transfer them.
Anyone got an idea of the best workflow? Besides changing operating systems.
Thanks in advance for any enlightment on this.

Brian Boyko October 29th, 2007, 02:45 PM As part of my project, I'm thinking about contributing to a side-project - problem is they're probably filming in PAL while I'm filming in NTSC. Should I record as 24p or 60i - I don't have access to a PAL camera.
Mike Sarner October 29th, 2007, 07:57 PM Editing HDV in FC 5.1 for the first time. All of my clips and timeline seem to loop back to the beginning of clip/timeline when they reach the end. is there an option to eliminate this?
John Lutz October 30th, 2007, 04:41 PM I am about to purchase a 24" iMac Leopard/2.4/2GB/320Gig Parallels 3.0/XP Home, this will be my first Mac.
I want to run Final Cut Studio 2 on the Mac side.
Also I would like to run Vegas 8, HDV Rack,Ultra 2, on the PC side.
Which should I use Parallels 3.0 or Bootcamp (which comes with Leopard)?
If Bootcamp, then the Mac systems drive needs to be partitioned to run XP Home (I figure about 100 gig for XP Home),correct?
That leaves about 220gig for Mac software. I will use external drives for video storage for both.
Please let me know what you think?

Chris Hocking October 31st, 2007, 01:54 AM I was just wondering what's the easiest way to get your surround sound mix out of FCP to Compressor?
When you setup FCP using the 5.1 preset (L, R, C, LFE, SL, SR) how do you get it out of FCP into Compressor? I would have thought you'd just export the audio as AIFF's (separated by channel)? However! That will create only four Quicktime files (L+R, C, LFE, SL+SR). This is a problem because when you manually drag in surround files to Compressor, each channel needs it's own file. Sure you can easily manually fix this, but surely Apple has an EASIER workflow?
Can you just export a Quicktime movie and import into Compressor? The program I see is that Compressor seems to use different channel orders?
Is there an easy method, or should I just manually sort it out? (You can also export as a Quicktime movie with 5.1 sound and then assign each channel manually using Quicktime Pro)
Chris!
Gary Williams October 31st, 2007, 09:15 AM Can anyone post what the best setting are to avoid the 5 second break in tape I have my post roll set at 1 and pre roll set at 1 is there any other setting I need to change to improve the ingest from my camera. Thanks Gary Williams
Chris Harris October 31st, 2007, 05:34 PM Soundtrack Pro 1.1 (from Final Cut Studio 1) doesn't seem to want to index .caf Apple Loops, only the .aiff ones. Unfortunately, iLife 08's Garageband loops are in .caf format. I've never had this problem before since the iLife 06 that came with all my Macs used aiff, but now that I'm doing a clean Leopard install, no iLife 06 for me, and STP 1.1 doesn't like that... I think. Anyone else come across a workaround? Or am I just missing something?
Benji Wade November 1st, 2007, 05:38 PM Okay so here was my workflow.
I import HDV footage. I cut it, did some correction, then rendered it back out into a Quicktime Movie with Current Settings and did *not* check the Re-compress Frames option. Does that add another generation of HDV compression to the footage even if I use Current Settings and don't click Re-compress Frames?
Jason Bowers November 2nd, 2007, 04:16 PM Motion won't open at all anymore? any ideas as to what I can do.
Justin Ferar November 3rd, 2007, 01:11 AM Been having a great time burning 720p60 HD-DVD's onto DVD-R (DVD-5) BUT there is one thing driving me nuts with DVDSP.
The Toshiba A2 displays HD menus differently than Macs (using Mac DVD player and DVDSP's simulator). In other words, what you see on the computer is not what you get on the HD DVD player. Square buttons show up in odd places. It is possible that the Toshiba is buggy so I'm going to check another player when I get the chance.
This will probably all go away upon the next DVDSP update.
Anyone else having menu issues with HD on DVD-5's?
Robert Bale November 5th, 2007, 12:00 AM hi, can some one tell me the best way to capture my footage from a jvc hd 201, currently i use DVHS Cap and streemclip, but i want to try and use a capture card (i think) if i do capture via rgb how do you get the audio?
i am shooting in 25p, but want to shoot in 50p as i need to do a lot of slow motion, or should it be up rezed to 1080i ? any help would be good,
thanks rob.
Alessandro Garabaghi November 5th, 2007, 11:07 AM As i wait for my Adobe production suite key, ive been playing on my friends G5 with Final Cut Express 2.0.
Ive imported the footage from my Canon XH A1, HDV 1080i60 and just wanted to know if final cut express 2.0 is seeing the HDV footage or if its downgrading it to SD footage?
Thanks
David Morgan November 8th, 2007, 03:01 PM Anyone know of a better application to deal with multi-track audio then STP? seems that if I export my tracks to any other system (Pro Tools) I end up with one or two (stereo) single files instead of audio associated with each clip. I'd like to retain the clip based audio. I don't mind coming back into Final Cut with a two track mix but would like to deal with the audio on the same number and type of tracks that I set up in Final Cut. STP is the right idea but just not there yet (in my experience). Maybe I should change NLE to Vegas?
thx

Simon Frances November 9th, 2007, 01:46 PM Hi,
I have some footage from my XH-A1 shoot in HD 25f, what settings in Compressor should I use to gain the best quality converting to SD?
Thanks in advance

Brennan Callahan November 10th, 2007, 09:23 AM Here is the deal:
I make a title in LT, and it looks great.
I render it (because for some reason I can't export it, as in the option to export under the "File" menu is greyed out, not black, meaning I can't click it)
I import the title to FCE and it looks all grainy on my screen, on movies that I export to my HD, or online. BUT - when they go onto a DVD they look fine.
What is the deal here?
Ryan Gardner November 10th, 2007, 12:20 PM Hopefully someone can help me -
We recently hired a company to organize a 7 camera multicam shoot of a concert for a dvd. We used 7 HVX-200's in varying capacities.
Heres the problem - they had 5 of the cameras set to 24pN (as planned) and the other two set differently. The timeline reads 29.97, but I'm not sure if they shot it in 30p, or simply 24p (versus pN) or any other format that ends up in the timeline as 29.97 due to how it is wrapped....to be honest, that whole side of things is still a bit cloudy to me.
My question is this - Is there a way, and if so what is the best way, to get those two clips into a multicam sequence with the other 5. If I perform a pulldown, will the adding/removing of "extra" frames cause a form of drift between the converted files and the native 24p files?
We already are in a bind enough having only captured 35 minutes from those two cameras (versus the ~85min alotted with 24pN), and I would really hate to not be able to use them all together.
Thanks!
Paul J Carey November 12th, 2007, 08:23 PM I shot some footage for a friend of mine a few weeks ago. I shot it with a Canon XL2. I used the 2:3:3:2 advanced pulldown option as the editor likes to use reverse telecine and edit in a 23.98 timeframe. He is editing in FCP 5.1. He is having an issue with the audio being out of sync after running the reverse telecine. It seems to happen more and more as you get further into the tape. The audio gets to be about 3 seconds off.
I've searched the forums but haven't seen anything specific. I'll keep looking but if you've into this, I'd love to hear any possible fixes.
Thanks!
David Slingerland November 13th, 2007, 04:51 PM while capturing from a sony V1 (so called in europe) HDV, using fcp 5 and a mac bookpro and external hd, i got a serious delay in the audio when I played it back through the speakers, and it is not a few frames but full seconds, i have never had this problem before. (capturing dv not hdv)
thanks,
Jourdan McClure November 13th, 2007, 10:52 PM Question,
If I want to shoot footage with an HVX200 mostly in 24p but want also shoot some overcranked footage(for slow mo) as well.
A. Do I have to capture the clips separate still using different presets?
B. What happens when I drop it into the open timeline..does it just conform to the timeline? or will it playback at the fps the clips was shot at? If this doesnt make sense...how to you mix overcranked footage with 24p footage in FCP6?
Thank you ahead of time.
Doug Lange November 14th, 2007, 03:45 AM I have a stage video (shot with Canon XH A1-HDV60i) that has a black back curtain with no light splashed on it. It creates a very strong waveform signal at 1-3%. When I encode it for DVDSP, the black becomes pixelated and blocky with the very few shades of black.
What's the best way to deal with this?
1. Push the black level up with the 3-way color corrector limited to black only with the luma. Add a little smoothing. Or just add smoothing
2. Apply Nattress noise reduction filter.
3. Use another filter and method to smooth the black.
4. Encode in Compressor with shorter GOP
5. All of the above
6. Other
Greg Quinn November 14th, 2007, 03:47 AM Something of a curio, but if anyone's interested, I just got Serious Magic's ULTRA running on the latest update (1.1) of VMWare's Fusion. It won't work with GPU boost activated since this requires pixel shader support which is not supported with the DirectX 9 virtualization in Fusion. Therefore of limited use, but I just used it to successfully output some test footage. They seem to be working fast on this, so I'm hoping for shader support soon(ish).

Robert Lane November 14th, 2007, 09:02 AM The issue at hand is after rendering any sequence then saving and quitting FCS, upon re-opening FCS and the same project the render files get moved to the Trash. Not sure what causes this behavior but here's two fixes we've verified works:
1. Prior to re-opening FCS check your Trash; if you see the render folders there simply move them back to where you've told FCP to make them.
2. (Permanent fix) If possible (assuming you have more than 2 drives to work with) move your Thumbnail & Waveform Cache and Autosave Vault location to a physically different drive than where your render files are being sent. This seems to clear the issue.
Michael Castaldo November 14th, 2007, 09:28 AM We are editing a project on FCP 4.5. When we start up it's fine but eventually starts to lag. It didn't start doing this until after we added RAM to the computer. We started a new project thinking the other one was corrupt but that didn't help. If we quit the program and re-launch, it is ok for a while but eventually starts to lag again. We are working on a Dual 2GHz powerPC G5 with 3.5GB RAM. The project is pretty simple, 13.3mb file size, SD, 16:9 timeline.
David Green November 14th, 2007, 02:06 PM Hi,
I'm working on a 23.98 film project in FCP. To make a long story short, I need to garbage matte 29.97 material on top of a portion of my 23.97 frame in order to hide a timecode window burn.
When I do this, however, I experience horizontal interlace jaggies from my 29.97 footage.
I've attached a photo of what I'm experiencing. You'll see a 23.97 frame with an identical 29.97 image masking the bottom half of each image.
Does anybody know the best way to blend 23.97 material with 29.97 material in the same frame?
My final output is a 29.97 NTSC DVD, and I'm working in FCP 6.
Many thanks for any suggestions!

Dino Leone November 14th, 2007, 06:48 PM Hi all,
This is of interest to all who use FCS 2. Apple released a whole bunch of updates today.
Here's a nice overview:
http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/07/11/14/apple_updates_final_cut_studio_iphoto_pro_apps_and_panther_security.html
Notably, FCP includes a couple very nice fixes, and I noticed that the new DVD StudioPro now natively supports 24F HD formats! I've been waiting for this as this will allow us to burn HD-DVDs at 24F.
Regards,
Russell Banks November 15th, 2007, 09:42 AM i have a 4 camera setup that all feeds HD/SDI into a datavideo SE1000. I am then taking that one program out and sending it to my MacPro via Multibridge where it will be combined with the audio from the sound board. My question is I would like to capture one camera straight to hard drive for back up purposes or in case I miss a cut. I want everything to interface very nicely with my MacPro and was wondering how I would set this up?
Should I get an xserve with an hd/sdi card for ingest?
Can I just get some sort of hard drive that will capture straight from HD/SDI?
Anyone have any thoughts?
Jonathan Schwartz November 15th, 2007, 11:29 AM Just shot a wedding with an XH-A1 and HV20 but now I have a problem. I kept the HV20 in 60i while I changed the A1 to 30p. Now I can not use multicam in FCS2 to edit the footage. What is the easiest and quickest way to get these two clips to the same codec?

Bryan Wilkat November 15th, 2007, 06:19 PM hey guys, quick, and probably stupid question:
is it possible to set my timeline and capturing settings to be 24fps with 2332 pulldown and then capture regular 60i video(29.95fps), thus converting it to 24fps? becuase i did it and it seems to play back in the viewer alright, the audio is in sync and everything..but i have a feeling that people dont do this for a reason...?
John Moon November 16th, 2007, 10:48 AM I came across a site a couple weeks ago that had some really cool grunge type effects both visual and audio. But....i forgot to save it and can't seem to locate it again. Any websites that have any cool retro, grunge type plugins or .mov files?
Thanks for the help.

Robert Ducon November 20th, 2007, 04:04 AM I've been previewing the project I've been editing on my good SD monitor - it's an HD project that I've been viewing via Composite and real-time down-scaling with my Decklink HD Extreme. So far, so good.
I can calibrate my monitor fine, and using the FCP supplied color bars, I can set it so the last PLUGE bar can be seen.. all per the manual.
So I then tried Component out - same system, same monitor, same FCP project - nothing changed - didn't even restart or close and open the FCP project.
All of a sudden the image is darker on the monitor. No matter what I do, I can't brighten the monitor enough to see the last PLUGE bar! Everthing is maxed out on the monitor. Even the override provided by the Decklink software can brighten everything - but not enough to reach the 'average' levels that the Composite cable was at.
So I can't even calibrate the monitor to meet the signal that the computer is outputting.
I swapped back to Composite - everything was as it was before.
I know the cables are great - it's not their fault. I know the monitor works fine - because, it does. What's going on with Component being darker?
I'd prefer the Component solution naturally - sharper!
Kevin Munn November 20th, 2007, 09:13 AM I'm using FCP 6 with the latest updates. Since I installed FCP 6, whenever I go to batch capture footage I get a warning that says "You are about to capture drop-frame footage from a non drop-frame source." It does this no matter what deck I capture from or what camera I shot the footage with (shooting mostly with a Z1U, FWIW). Thus far I've ignored the warning without any apparent problems, however, today during a relatively long capture I got a warning saying that it detected a switch from drop-frame to non drop-frame within the same tape, and it aborted the capture attempt automatically. It shouldn't have detected a switch b/c the footage was all shot with the same camera during the same shoot. I've searched the forums and elsewhere online without any luck so far. Any suggestions?
Roger Beck November 20th, 2007, 01:49 PM In Premiere Pro you can export to a PDF file called Clip Notes. The viewer looks at the footage in the PDF and enters their comments throughout the clip in a text box at the bottom and then closes it back up and returns it to the editor in the same PDF format. This is extremely handy but I have only seen it for Premiere Pro, do you know if there is something similiar for FCP?
thanks, roger
Stephen Marsh November 22nd, 2007, 04:18 PM Hi,
This is a fairly simple question, I just want to make sure I'm doing this right before I capture a bunch of footage...
So, I've got a lot of footage shot in 24pa and I want to edit it in FCP with the 24pa pulldown removal.
It's standard definition video, but it's shot on an XL2 (in the native widescreen). I obviously want to import it at full quality and resolution.
So...
My capture settings should obviously be set to remove the 24pa pulldown, etc, but what about the box that says "Anamorphic." Should I check that? When I do that it doesn't change the boxes for horizontal and vertical resolution (still says 480x720). In reality the picture is probably like 480x8__-something? I DO NOT WANT letterboxes. Should I put in a specific number?
So basically I'm asking if someone would be kind enough to tell me, in an idiot-proof way, the specific settings I need to use in FCP6 to capture the HIGHEST quality possible, non-letterboxed footage shot in 16:9 SD 24pa (with pulldown removed so it's true 24p) off an XL2.
Thank you very much,
-Stephen
Richard Siberry November 23rd, 2007, 01:30 AM I am currently cutting a trailer for a long term HDV documentary I am working on to screen for some of my investors.
I am editing the raw footage, mostly 1080p24 with some 1080i60 in FCP 6 on a Mac pro. As a preliminary trial I duped the trailer sequence and went File > Export > Quick Time Movie... The exported sequence plays fine on any Mac but not on any PC. I only have a PC laptop to bring to the screening. How do I get my trailer into a format that will play back on my PC laptop through an LCD projector?
The PC laptop has the latest version of QT loaded but it gives an error message saying that it needs more info to play the trailer, it doesn't specify what info it needs. The PC in question is running Win XP SP2.
Thanks for any help you can give.
Rich.
Katrina Spires November 23rd, 2007, 01:16 PM I've been working with After Effects 7, Final Cut Pro 5.1, and iDVD 4 (on a dual 1.8GHz PowerPC G5 running OS 10.4.11) for about six months now, and I've never had this problem happen before, so I'm not quite certain how to fix it.
I assembled a photo montage in AE; it includes elements like page curl and speech balloons that appear and disappear. I needed to add five pieces of music, so I used the Render Queue in AE to create a QuickTime movie (default "Best Settings," "Lossless"), which I pulled into FCP so I could edit five pieces of music under the montage.
When I imported the QT movie into FCP, it looked squished in the Canvas monitor until I turned off the "square pixels" option. I added the music and output the FCP file as a "reference" QT movie (unchecked "self-contained"), which is my normal output before burning in iDVD.
But when I import the movie into iDVD, the resulting image is slightly squished again (people tall and skinny). I've checked the image against other projects I've done; it looks like iDVD is trying to fit the entire image into the screen by making it non-proportional (which is why everything looks too tall and skinny). Normally, it just cuts off the left and right edges and keeps everything proportional -- but not this time.
I've never had this problem happen before, and I can't figure out where in the process the problem is occurring. The After Effects composition is set to 720x480, DV aspect ratio (0.9), and so is the FCP sequence. When I "get info" on the QT file I exported from FCP, the settings look exactly the same as previous files (720 x 480, DV/DVCPRO - NTSC).
I'm still experimenting to see if I can find a solution on my own, but I'd welcome suggestions, too.
Arturo Glass November 23rd, 2007, 04:17 PM I have FCP set up to capture using the Apple Intermediate Codec, device control using Sony HDV Firewire. However, Final Cut just seems to allow the "capture now" option rather than letting me log and selectively capture clips. Is there a way around this so as to edit "normally"?
I'm trying to edit in a 24p timeline, and to do that, capturing as mentioned above, doing reverse telecine with Cinema Tools to 23.98, then importing that into FCP.
Gary Williams November 23rd, 2007, 09:37 PM I would like to hear some opinions on burnning longer projects in HDV for example would it be better to get and external hard drive to put my longer projects on that I cant burn to a D-5 disc due to their size but instead transfur the finished project to an external drive and take it to a dup house and let them put it on a hd dvd disk for me.
