Blue Bars and a 24p question..
Good Mornings,
First, I am using an older but very nice Sony Broadcast Monitor(PVM-14N6U) that does not have a Blues only button. I would like to dail in my chroma and phase for Color Correction. I do not have a hand held 47B Filter to look through while looking at NTSC FCPHD Bars on the Sony monitor. So I am wondering if I can either; 1. Add a semi opaque Blue Layer above the bars on the timeline(and what this setting would be) or 2. If I could use the 3-way CC Filter in FCPHD to add blue to the bars in FCPHD(and what these numbers might be). I know this is the poor mans way of doing things, but its all I have for now.
And Secondly, I just took on finishing a project that was shot on a Canon XL2 in 24p. I have the rough cut on a firewire drive with all the media captured and the sequence settings at 29.97. My question is… Did the original editor have to use Cinema Tools to add pull down to get it to 29.97 or is there anyway they could have misstakenly captured 24p footage with 29.97 settings? IF he did use Cinema Tools to convert to 29.97 should I convert it back to 24p when I’m finished if their destination scorce is a DVD? And would I do this by exporting the finished sequence out of FCPHD to convert in Cinema Tools then to Compressor for MPEG and then to DVD Studio Pro to Output?
I have done the seaches and I read Ken Stone’s lovely artical on the 24p work flow but was not able to grasp some details, thank you so much for your patience and any ideas!

(PS I know this is a guestion for the original editor, but the producers are having a hard time getting a hold of him. humm:)

Sorry, but you’ll NEED to aquire a hand-held BLUE FILTER (such as a Rosco Gel #80 Primary [CTB] Blue) to help you adjust the monitor properly.
For accuracy, you CAN’T do any INTERNAL MIX (inside the “source”, in this case, FCP) because you are needing to adjust the MONITOR’s controls INDEPENDENT of the source.

Matte, Thanks so much! Well, a piece of gel shouldn’t break the bank huh? ha:)
Do you know anything about 24p?
