I captured 24F from XLH1
Hello everyone,
I have managed to capture both 24F and 30F footage from the Canon XLH1 but now am having some trouble working with.
Workflow
30F
Captured using 1080i60 and works fine as long as you just do capture now
The sequence is set up as an HD 16:9 sequence 1080i as well
When I pull the clip in from the browser and add it to the timeline, it comes in unrendered. The rendering is painfully slow even on a dual 2.5 GHZ machine. Can anyone tell me what I am rendering?24F
There is a utility HDVXDV which is $80.00 and can capture the 24F clips and export them to Quicktime. I had to play around with the settings to get it to come in at 1440×1080 but finally found that if you use the “expert” option it lets you choose from your final cut compressor list. I am also having to render this when I pull it into a timeline. (The footage that has rendered so far looks great).If anyone can point me to an explanation of what is rendering, that would be helpful. I’m a little worried that I am going to have to render a lot during the editing and I don’t have time for that.
Thanks,

You are rendering the clips because more than likely your clip settings do not match your sequence settings.

Look up rendering in the back of the manul, there are plenty of pages on it. I suggest if you dont have the time to render all your clips then you at least take the time to read a bit of the manual so you have a better understanding of the process and how to avoid having to render everything.

It could have something to do with the whole “F” thing (quite complex and not really FCP-friendly yet, from my understanding). You could convert it to SD or DVCPRO HD and edit using one of those.
