  Capturing Beta SP footage in Final Cut Pro

  Posted by Matthew Schow on March 10, 2008 at 11:27 pm

  Hello Resident Experts,

  So I did a search within this forum to see if I could answer the question I would like to pose and I think I found the answer but I would like to post my question to double check the results…

  I want to capture footage that is on Beta SP into Final Cut Pro but can’t seem to find the right capture settings. I’m running Final Cut version 5.0.4 and have a AJA Kona LHe capture card/box. I found a thread that said the proper capture setting was AJA Kona LH: 525 29.97 8 bit. Does this sound right to you all for an uncompressed video capture of Beta SP footage?

  Thanks.

  Yep, that’s a good one. There are other valid choices also. 8-bit uncompressed to DV50 is a common one if you want to save disk space.

  Thanks Guys… I have a follow up question, or two.

  Can I master out the Beta SP footage I ingest to DVCPro 24p using a 1200 deck and my Kona card? Or do I have to take it to my locale duplication/conversion outfit like I was planning on doing and have it run through their Teranex box to do the conversion?
