24P Advanced capture, and timeline question
My original footage is is shot 24PA DV CAM. I am using a sony DV CAM deck to capture. I am capturing using the easy setup setting DV NTSC 48kHz Adavanced (2:3:3:2) Pulldown removal. My sequence settings are 720×480 NTSC DV (3:2); NTSC-CCIR 601 DV; Editing Timebase 23.98; Copressor is DV/DVCPRO-NTSC at 100% quality; Audio is 48kHz-16-bit-Config: default. Field Dominance is grayed out.
I ran a series of 16 second test captures which when loaded into my timeline came up with the olive green stripe in the video portion of the render status line. I know that I can edit with that as that is just a reduced resolution, but when I capture longer clips (minutes in duration) those clips show orange in the render status bar of the same timeline. I also notice that the short clips come into the machine with a field dominance of none, but the long clips have a field dominance of even.
I must make sure that my final edit can go to film.
How can I get the clips to go into the timeline with a gray or olive green render status?

Try the “easy setup” for this… there must be something wrong somewhere, and this should take care of it.
It’s the DV NTSC 24p one. to see it you have to turn on “show all” in the Easy Setup dialog box opened from the FCP menu.

Jerry, Thanks for responding. I have used the show all option in the easy setup window and have quadruple checked all the settings just to not take anything for granted. I cannot figure out why I would, at best, get a green bar in the video portion render status indicators. That doesn’t bother me that much as I am used to editing on a AVID on which I’m always looking at something at a lesser resolution, but I’m completely baffled as to why a short clip captured via the “NOW” process would come in with a NONE in the field dominance property column and a long clip would come in with an EVEN field dominance property and show orange in the video portion of the render status bar. I was hoping this anomaly would be something symptomatic of a problem that you would have seen before. Am I mistaken in expecting a clip capture done with the advanced pulldown removed and the subsequent loading of that same clip into a 23.98 sequence timeline to show gray in the render status bar?
Thanks!
