  • HDV capture as DV PAL in Final Cut 6?

    Posted by John Watts on February 10, 2009 at 10:55 am

    Hi

    I have some HDV footage that I want to capture as DV PAL, but Final Cut doesn’t seem to want me to do it. Is this something that is possible, or do I have to capture as HDV then use media manager to convert it to DV?

    Thanks in advance

    Most HDV cameras and decks have the option to downconvert the HDV signal to DV, so you can capture using the DV codec. If this is an option for you, this may be the simplest option.

    Hope that helps – I realise it’s not exactly what you’re asking.

    Thanks, I did actually manage to figure that out eventually, but thank you for responding!
