  Canon XL H1 24F

  hallo dear FCP users,

  I will be shooting a dokumentary in Berlin in the next couple weeks using 2 Canon XL h1 and will be editing the material on my Macpro 2,6 with FCP 5.1.4. I do not have an Aja Kona or anything like that and would like to edit the material at home, then when finished, take my projekt to a Post house where I can reonline the material uncompressed. I do have a few questions being that this is my first HD projekt…

  I would like to use this 1080 24F setting on the Canon, are there any drawbacks to this. Would I be able to capture the material using my fire wire to Macpro? In my “Device Control” flip down tab I have only 2 HD settings DVCPRO HD 1080i 50 and DVCPRO HD Fireweire. Which shoudl I use?

  I also have a slew of settings in the “Capture/Input” tab, I would imagen that I should use DVCPRO HD 100pA24 48kHz? is that correct?

  If all this is possible how fat would the data be? I have some 400 GB free on my second drive. I am expecting a good 6 hours of material, 3 from each Camera, with 4 audo tracks. Would I have enough disk space for that, or should i run out and buy me another 500gb and set up a RAID?

  If I were to set up a RAID are their any problems, is it very difficult? I have my normal mac drive 250 gb in slot 1 and a Maxtor 7H500F0 in slot 2. I have heard that there have been some issues with the 3rd harddrive slot? Should i avoind this? is it even necessary?

  Ok thanks sorry to send so many questions at once. I would appreciate any help…

  thanks a million,
  Aaron

  ps- i will also be doing some rather simple compositing with Shake. Would there be problems with this if i wold the re online my projekt?
