FCP 5.1/HVX-200/1080p 23.98 Delivery
Please help me avoid a potential nightmare.
I am working on a documentary which ultimately needs to be delivered on D5, 1080p, 23.98 fps format.
We plan on using the HVX-200 w/ the FS100 drive to shoot and FCP 5.1 (with KONA LH) to edit.
My question concerns workflow. Should I shoot 720p 24fps, edit using these settings then up-convert? If so, is this a render up-convert, or a terranex up-convert? Or, should I shoot 1080p 24fps and edit w/ these settings?
Overall, I guess my question is, is this workflow even possible? Our first day of shooting is this weekend (7/29) so I have a little time to experiment. Any advice or insights will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Always best to shoot the same format you output.

I agree. Don’t make things more difficult than they have to be. Go ahead and shoot in the format you plan to post.

Leif,
Definitely shoot and edit in the 1080I, 24 frame preset, especially when working with the Firestore drive. I have found that the missing frame issues when recording in 720p24 with the Firestore do not occur when using 1080i. Definitely keep with that workflow and you should be fine.

Noy to hijack this thread, but what do you mean by this?
