Rockin' Rig
Hey gang-
Here's my setup: -HD100 -Formatt Matte Box -Focus Enhancements FS-4 Pro 40 gig with the HDV upgrade & field kit I'm running tape and direct-to-disk with the FS-4. After shooting I link the FS-4 to my Mac G5, copy the file to a big internal HDD, then use HDVxDV to convert it to a DVCPROHD file at 24fps. Then I import into FCP5 and go from there. I then put the tape away as backup. Rockin'. I highly recommend it. +Steve |

Very good Steve. Are you having to deal with timecode issues or do you not need timecode to be accurate to the camera's recorded TC?

Steven,
I'm very interested to see what the 720P24 m2t recorded to the FS-4 actually looks like. Is is 59.94 fps or 23.98? Does the TC retain base 60fps properties? Could you roll a few seconds and post it for us? I was supposed to receive the FS-4 last week, but it hasn't arrived yet. THe big question is: Does the FS-4 PRO with HDV upgrade have the talkback capabilities of the JVC OEM version? Also, does your Formatt matte box use a screw-in 82mm adapter, or clamp-on 85mm ring? I still looking for a suitable light-weight two-stage 4x4 matte box. I already have the Cavision, but it is too heavy for stedicam work. |

I'm puzzled. I'm using those 24fps clips (not conformed to 23.98) in a 23.98 FCP sequence, and they drop in fine with no rendering. Is it possible that FCP reports the clips as being 24fps when in reality they are 23.98?

So in other words, Final Cut probably just has an internal rule to play 24fps clips at 1:1 on a 23.98 timeline, therefore sidestepping all sorts of potential weirdness.
