Pansonic Frame Converter and Apple Pro res 422 HQ codec
Hi, I’m doing a 1080 23.98 project- shot on HDX-900. I’m loading into Final Cut 6.02, thru
a Kona Card- and Apple Pro res 422 HQ codec. Some of my footage was shot at 720 59.94p
for slo mo purposes down the road. Usually I cut in firewire-based DVC PRO HD- and the
Panasonic Frame Converter works great- at creating very accurate slow motion. Now that I’m working in PRO RES 422- does anyone know if the frame converter works? Or will I have to try something else like Cinema tools? Or capture those scenes in DVC PRO HD?Thanks
P.

It will only work w/ DVCProHD.
If the intended framerate is 23.98 then try and use Cinema Tools. CT may not work with progressive-scan footage though. I haven’t tested this w/ the latest version. If it doesn’t let you do it then try putting the footage on a ProRes 23.98 sequence and render a little bit. See if it gets it right (you never know).
Otherwise it’s gotta come in at DVCProHD. I usually avoid the frame converter tool. It’s old and who knows if it even works w/ FCP 6. With FW you can just bring it in at 23.98 during capture using the 23.98 capture setting.

[gryphon] “Some of my footage was shot at 720 59.94p

Use CT and conform to the slower frame rate.
