  • Am I not capturing my footage properly?

    Posted by Rishi Kumar on June 22, 2009 at 6:38 am

    Hi everyone, I have had my Sony HVR V1U for few months now, and i was wondering if I was capturing footage correctly.

    Currently I only use normal MiniDV tapes shooting on 24P mode, so therefore in Final Cut Pro I go easy set up and under Use: i have DV-NTSC selected

    Then I just capture ‘normally’ from there, however whenever I drag my captured footage into my sequence, it always asks me if I want sequence setting to match the clip setting..I automatically hit yes, so from there my resolution is 720X480….

    am I doing anything wrong here/

    thanks for the help guys

    What are the settings on the sequence? Those must match the easy setup of the capture. Maybe you’re trying to cram 29.97 into a 23.98 sequence??

    720×480 is the correct frame size for DV-NTSC if that’s your question.
