Camera/FCP settings
Thanks to everyone who has shared their knowledge about the HVX200 and P2 workflow. I wish I could figure out some of the following questions from the help files of FCP and the HVX200 manual, but it’s not readily apparent how to proceed.
Here’s another question before I start an especially important project using our new camera.
We want to shoot in DVPro50/24 and some of what we shoot will be undercranked–not a lot–but some of it. I’ve tried tests in which I set the camera to DVPro50/24PA and that seemed less stuttery than 24 or 24N, but I’m not sure it’s the best choice. Then when I import, should I leave the remove pulldown option checked?
Also, the camera gives a “squeeze” or or “letterbox” option. I want a true 16 X 9 finished product. Which is the better setting?
Lastly (for now), what setting should I use for FCP so that my DVPro 50 footage won’t require rendering in the timeline.
Many thanks for any advice.

Use the DVCPRO50 Easy Setups in FCP. You cannot undercrank in DVCPRO50- so shoot 720pN for those shots and downconvert. Squeeze is true 16:9. If you want to cut at 23.98- leave the pulldown option checked. Again stick with the Easy Setups and you will not have to render.

I read in another thread that Firestore records 24p (non-native) and that the resulting files lose sync when importing into FCP? Is there any way around that problem. Sounds like a serious limitation, and makes me not want to use my new FS-100 with the maiden voyage of our HVX200.
