DF & NDF
I posted a thread about this on the Apple FCP Discussions board
yesterday, and on the FCP-L earlier today, but I’d like to obtain a larger sample, so I turn to the
Cow for help.I discovered yesterday that with my FCP 5.0.3 system (on v10.4.2), I am
unable to create a drop frame sequence. If I create a new project, the
sequence that is also created says (in Sequence Settings) that it is
drop frame, but if I move the Playhead frame by frame, I see frames 00
and 01 in every second of the timeline I look at.If I change the Sequence preset to DV, or, Aja Io-LA Betacam
uncompressed 8-bit, or DV50 (those are the only presets I tried), and
then create a new sequence (new sequences default to DF), it also shows
the telltale NDF frame numbers 00 and 01, even though Sequence Settings
say it is a DF sequence.I have trashed the FCP prefs with FCP Rescue 5, but that made absolutely
no change. Same result.Could some others on list try this and tell me if you can create a DF
sequence, please? Also, please tell me what version of Final Cut, and
the OS version as well. So far, I’ve found three users who get the same
results I get, and three who don’t. Some are on FCP 4.5, some on FCP5.Thanks,

False alarm. Never mind. Old age, bad eyes, and who knows what else combined to fool me.

I don’t think you’re talking about DF vs. NDF.
That is a Timecode setting.
Are you trying to create a non-INTERLACED video?

NEVERMIND?! You figured it out? Then pray tell…and post back on the huge discussion happening back at Apple…

Yup, I was looking at it wrong, with tired eyes. I thought I was looking at something other than what I was actually looking at. There’s no problem. And I did post back on Apple Discussions.
