720p/25p vs 720p/25pn

[Gunleik Groven]

We all do here in PAL land.

The 5.1.2 adds 720 support… sorta.

I’m confused, Shane . . .

I thought you were talking about this here:

Or am I missing something?

I taught you all I know – and still you know nothing

Andy, those are OLD posts. August, before 5.1.2 came out.

But P2 log…that is worth looking into. I have HD Log, the big brother, so I’ll have to check that out….

whole my idea to shoot HD is to get real full frame and high quality picture. now i cant accept that i have to convert my footage and loose quality.

also Panasonic has to give us, mac users, somekind of P2 manager/viewer.

still confused… if HVX200 can cannot stream 25p Native out of firewire, then it sounds i have to convert everything i record with my HVX200

Anybody using Firestore and editing with FCP in Europe (25/50), please share with me your experience.

just dicovered that if i activate “remove advanced pulldown and dublicate frames” the 25p footage going to the timeline without rendering. yahooooo…

720 25PN can’t preview to broadcast monitor by using Black magic card, even up convert to HD.

FCP 5.1.2 introduced support for 720p25 native import and editing. During import of 720p25 (50fps) remove duplicate frames will give you a true 25fps picture and this will work in the 720p25 timeline. 50fps is not selectable anywhere in FCP. A German site has a workaround posted that allows you to get 50fps selected after various XML imports / exports (can’t recall the site).

The Firestore will have a v3.0 update ‘soon’ that will allow people to record only the native frames from a 720p25 firewire stream – 2:2 pulldown essentially, to give you 720pn25 like the P2 cards store.

FCP 5.1.2 does not have a 720p25/50 capture component; you will not see a picture if you connect a camera and open the Capture tool – this differs from the 720p60 side.
