  Varicam FCP settings

  Posted by Joe Ocho on October 19, 2007 at 4:54 am

  I shot some video with the Varicam at 24fps. I am capturing for the first time to FCP. Should my sequence setting be as follows:

  FRAME SIZE: HD 960X720
  PIXEL ASPECT RATIO: HD (960×720)
  Lower fields
  COMPRESSOR: DVCPRO720p60

  Please let me know ASAP if this is correct…

  Thanks,

  Joe

  You could digitize it two ways:

  – 60fps (24P with a 60P 2:3 pulldown) This is the exact info on the tape.
  – 24fps (removing the 2:3 pulldown so you end up with a native 23.98 file)

  Easiest thing to do is select Easy Setup – DVCPROHD 720P24 for 23.98 or DVCPROHD 720P60 if you want to keep all 60 frames. These will have all of the right settings.
