23.98 to 24?
Okay, here’s a problem for the FCP gods… So I have a bunch of HDV-720p24 footage from a JVC-GY-HD100 camera that needs to be on the same timeline as some Super16 footage that I have digitized at DVCPROHD720p 23.98fps. I was planning on converting the HDV stuff to DVCPROHD so that it runs more smoothly in FCP but I am still stumped on what to do to the framerates to get them to jive together on the same timeline. Any suggestions? Thanks for your help!
p.s.- The Super16 stuff will have sync audio accompanying it.

The JVC will run at 23.98, unless you have somehow changed it to true 24.0

I didn’t shoot the footage and don’t have access to the camera anymore. The HDV footage is using the Apple Intermediate Codec at 720p resolution and runs at 24fps in the Quicktime player. I need to convert the footage to DVCPROHD so that it runs at 23.98 properly without messing anything up. Any suggestions?

Trust me, the footage is running at 23.98 and you cannot trust quicktime’s frame rate read out as it is often inaccurate. What you need to do is run your HDV clips through the media manager and recompress to DVCPRO HD, or capture as 24p DVCPro HD in the first place (which is hard to do). You could also do an advanced format conversion in Compressor.

[JeremyG] ” the footage is running at 23.98″
Jeremy is correct, the JVC camera is not capable of shooting at 24.0 in the US. Your 16mm telecined material will be at 23.98 also unless you get a drive full of DPX files, and even then you can set the timing to 23.98.
At a 24.0 frame rate you will never be able to watch the your footage without a 3rd party video card and a professional monitor.
