Sanyo HD1000 to Apple Prores (flickering)
I want to convert my Sanyo HD1000 footage (h.264 / 60fps) to Apple prores for editing in FCP. I convert the clips to prores with Compressor. The only setting i change is the audio (to PCM 48). The converted clips looks terrible! If i play it in Quicktime or FCP the clip starts flickering so it’s useless. Can anybody help?

I just upgraded to FCP7 and I’m having the same problem using footage off of a Sanyo HD2000 camera. I ended up transcoding to DVC Pro HD and edited in FCP7, it worked but I don’t feel that I am getting teh best quality that I could. I would rather use ProRes HQ as I have heard that is the best quality and the way to go in FCP7. Anyone have a solution, idea of why it may be occurring? I’m running a MacPro 2.93GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 8GB RAM. The files play off of an Apple Xserve RAID connected via a PCI fibre card.

I guess it has something to do with the amount of frames (60). If I reduce that to 30 in Compressor it has a better result. But of course that’s not the best way to do it.

Sander, by “better result” does that mean it’s acceptable for editing and output to client? Next chance I’ll try changing setting to 30 frames and see how that looks compared to DVCProHD (in Compressor). Thanks

unfortunately the Full HD modus is interlaced. At 1920 it records at 60 F(ields) per second and not frames per second. This was a bit confusing. So i decided to set the record option to 1280×720 (30 frames per second). The newer versions of Sanyo, like the HD1010 or 2000 are able to record progressive at 1920.
