Activity Forums Panasonic Cameras 720p60 – “shooting rate”???

    my “shooter” was an art director that unpacked the box 6 hours before the shoot because he wanted a “B” camera on the shoot, so I’m sure it was not an intentional hack – and the thing that is strangest is that NONE of the footage is actually shot at a variable frame rate. It all plays 60 fps in real time – not slo-mo, not time lapse – athletes working out in real time.

    FCP just ignores the “shooting rate” column unless it happens to be 30 – then it drops half of the frames out and makes an unusable herky-jerky 30 fps quicktime.

    There’ve been many reports of FCP bugging out the frame rate of the footage. I believe it’s related to having the “remove duplicate frames on import” checkbox clicked, and then importing 720pN footage.

    Your original footage is probably fine; you’re probably just running into an FCP bug.

    Pete, you should start a new thread for this in the forum, but when you say blank, do you mean white?

    How do I start a new thread – probably obvious, but I am new to the CC exchanges. And as for the blank video, it is black until after viewing a non-P2 encoded clip when the last frame of that clip is frozen in the viewer while audio runs (which can confuse matters even further!). I have been advised that this may be a QT codec issue but I think am updated on those (QT player 7.5). Thanks…

    [Pete Shelton] “How do I start a new thread”

    Towards the top of the page, click ‘Add a New Post’

    Make a new sequence and drag your clip into it. When it asks to conform the setting, click yes.

    Does it play in real time now?
