  Shot Varicam 23.98 so I capture that way as well, right?

  shot DVCPRO HD 720 23.98.

  So, in “easy setup” i should choose 720p 23.98 DVCPRO HD varicam, correct?

  I know the Varicam shoots 60 frames or 59.94 per second and flags the 23.98 (that you actually see). Why wouldn’t I capture 59.94 then? Is there some info on the other (non-seen frames… like timecode) that’s needed?

  If you shoot 23.98 on the Varicam, it records those to a tape at 59.94. But if you choose the 720p 23.98 Easy Setup, FCP will remove the pulldown and the resulting captured footage will be 23.98.

  Simple.

  and there would be no reason to capture those extra frames?
  We’re considering this our ‘offline’… I think we’ll bump up to HDCAM 10-bit for color correct and delivery.

  I’m asking because I’m considering the fact I don’t know what I don’t know.

  Sounds like capturing at 23.98 is the way to go.

  [Michael Pierre] “and there would be no reason to capture those extra frames?”

  They are redundant…not needed. But, find out what you’ll be delivering. HDCAM…but, 23.98? IF so, then 23.98 is the way to go.
