24PN or 24p??

[Mike Schrengohst] “Does 24PN not
work in FCP 5.0.4??”

Not sure about 1080, but it most certainly does at 720p. Looking at my Easy Setups, I don’t see a setting for 1080p24, so it may not be supported.

[Mike Schrengohst] “What is the best QT export for people
needing a generic QT for use with any other
editing system??”

There isn’t. You cannot capture with FCP and send it to Avid or Premeire or Vegas. Each systems needs to first support the format, and second capture it into formats it works with. There is no generic file. If the system doesn’t support DVCPRO HD, it will not work with the footage.

AFAIK.

Wouldn’t uncompressed 4:2:2 qt-mov be fine with everything?

[Shane Ross]

Not really. Many PC systems don’t work with QT files…and unless the system has the codec that you encoded as, it won’t work at all.

Mixing systems is a bad idea.

If you encode as an ANIMATION file (HUGE files sizes), that is more universal…but as I said…huge.

Do you really know a professional editing software for windows that does not have ability to import quicktime? This usually involves some conversion, but can be done.
Quicktime7 contains a standard set of codecs, so your windows system has those codecs after you have installed qt7. With eg. After effects of QTpro you can also convert qt-mov’s to avi’s of your editing software’s native codec, if it refuses to understand qt at all.
In real world mixing edit systems happens every day. That’s why we have EDL’s. Usually offline and online is not made with same system.

There is no such thing as DVCPro HD 1080/24p, at least not officially. The only way to get such a preset that I know of is to install Blackmagic’s latest software with one of their HD cards. You will then see a 1080/24p preset, but if you look at the actual settings what Blackmagic actually does is use a 50i setting – with fields 1 and 2 being identical – and plays it back at 24. Kind of a “slow PAL” recording approach. Very clever, but it’s really intended to work with 1080/24p original, which the HVX200 does not produce (it’s actually 1080i/60 with 3:2 pulldown).

The other option, of course, is to capture using 1080i, then removing the pulldown in Cinema Tools or something similar to create 24p clips.

So you are saying. When I go to the recording menue and select 1080/24p in my HVX 200 I’m shooting in 1080/60?.

No, you’re SHOOTING 1080/24p. But what gets recorded is a 1080/60i data stream. The 24P frames are carried within a 60i wrapper.
