Can we bring the AVC -HD into workflow with P2 720/24p?

How do you mean that? You can do whatever you want- are you asking in terms of post-production or….?

It shoots a completely different format…so you know. AVCHD imports as AIC or ProRES only…and that camera only shoots 1080i60 as far as I know. So you will be mixing codecs and frame rates.

Correct, I am asking with regards I want to make sure we can use the footage in the final product. Most of the footage will be acquired with the HDX-900 and the HVX-200. I figure these cameras (AG-HSC1U)aren’t going to deliver the same quality of image as the other cameras but I am looking for the supplemental cut in footage, like using lipstick cam for example.

Guess I just need to know if the footage from the HSC1U can be used in post production to add to the documentary that we’re shooting with the HDX900 & HVX 200 at 720/24p. Just looking to use it as the “c” cam.

Thanks, in advance, for your help,

Sorry but there’s still not really a question there. You can mix in footage from any camera you’d like to once it’s rendered to match the sequence codec you’re using- just quality issues to deal with. Are you asking- will they match? Do they look the same? Will FCP accept them on the same timeline- help us help you.

Quality issues aren’t a huge concern. Just want to be able to use the footage in the doc. Walter Biscardi will do the edit and he’s on vacation so haven’t really been able to get assurance before I buy the camera. If we can convert it one way or the other in order to use it that’s all I need to know. The Panasonic engineer I spoke with says it should work but couldn’t answer any questions about ingestion by FCP and then conversion to get it into the timeline for the edit. So I figured you folks could help. Much appreciated.

Think as if you were the editor. Rent an HVX-200 and shoot 720/24p. Make Walter’s job simple.
