23.98 DVCPRO HD Shooting/Editing Workflow

[Donnythedestroyer]

i shot a feature with that same rig. i used 6.0 and had no issues to report of. my system is up to date quad g5 with 6 gigs of ram.

for capture there is a DVCPRO HD 1080 setting to use and then select the 1080 24p under the next drop down, pretty simple

i remember having to tweak an issue with frames repeating and creating a horrible look when the camera panned – i forgot the specific setting, but basicly the end product had filed the 29.97 product with repeat frames.

haha, during capture – the local panavision plus 8 here in houston said “good luck with that ” as they didnt have the systems for the 1080×1920 image i was working with

i had hell with some of the externals when it came to capturing / mastering. I used 3 lacie 2tb drives dasie chained on fw800. in the begining captures looked fine, and then i would get drop out and sync isues later. (we capped 99 tapes)

i beefed up the internal hd to 4tb and would capture and transfer at night.

during extended captures, give your hoss a break to prevent errors from overheating.

hmmm other advice? shoot me an email if you want some screen shots of the settings

Thanks for the info. So Just to be clear, I set the camera to 1080 24p and in FCP I use the DVCPRO HD 1080 24p setting and check the, remove pulldown. Or should the camera be on the 1080 24pA setting and then in FCP select the 1080pA24 setup? Thanks again.
