Work around for Canon XLH1 24F?
Got an XLH1 and 24F is not supported by FCP, I need to capture footage and get it into FCP to edit. Does anyone have a work around for this? All I have to capture with is FCP and iMovie, can I do anything or do I have to wait for 5.1.2 to come out?

Either wait for FCP 5.1.2 or purchase an HD capture card from either AJA or BlackMagic.

What about recording / transferring your footage from Canon to Firestore’s FS – 4 HD,
and then from FS-4 HD just dump it onto your hard drive.
I don’t know about the timeline settings for 24f, but at least you’ve
got your footage in without the capture / sync problems.Mick

It sounds like a lot, but that’s because I’ve been so specific about settings. In fact it’s a two step process: 1. Capture and 2. Convert.
