FCP Sequence Preset with 25f Footage
 

Hi All,
Firstly thanks for all the great info on this site, it is awesome. I am new to this forum and this may be a simple problem but when I capture HDV 25f footage from my A1 into FCP all fine, but when I drop the footage into the timeline it needs rendered. What is the correct sequence preset for the Canon 25f footage?

Thanks

Jon

Check your timeline setting, remove your footage from the timeline, and then go to the Sequence tab, Click setting , change your compression setting to the correct one that your footage is filmed in.

Then bring in your footage again to see if they are green, if they are still red, just remove them and repeat the steps above .

You cannot change the timeline setting when there is footage on it.

Moved here from Canon XH.

Just gone through all the HDV settings and tried still red...

Works fine with HDV 50i but not 25F

I am using FCS 5.1.4... is it only found FCS 6?

Thanks

Jon

I've had no problems using 1080(p) 25f with the XH G1. I've used "easy setup" in FCS2/FCP6.0 at both HDV and DV (to allow footage shot in HD to be viewable in SD/ PAL 4:3). If you're "easy setup" is one of these I can't think of any reason why it's coming up as unrendered. Sorry Jon--not much help but just letting you know it works for me...

Thanks, I have FCP 5 not 6 and there is a setting of 1080 p 25 which I have tried but no joy. Does the easy setup on FCP 6 actually state 1080 p 25 f.

Hopefully I won't have to upgrade just yet?

Thanks for your help

Jon

Update: Actually just tried again, re-saved and works. Have not idea what I was doing wrong

Thanks again

Cheers
