capture preset
If I have variable frame rates, should I capture all of the footage with the 720p60 setting and then run the frame rate convertor. Most my clips will be 24p…

If they shot 24P…23.98…use the 720P24 setting. If the footage they shoot is 60P, then FCP will capture it 60P. The camera sets the flags in the footage as to what the frame rate is, and then FCP captures it at that rate. But if your project is 23.98, use the 23.98 setting.

I guess I don’t hate HD, I hate working with people who don’t know much about HD or take the editor into consideration. They shot some stuff 24 and some 60 (with the intention of the 60 stuff being used for slow mo), but they did not slate or make note of which shots they changed the rate on. And I don’t want to capture everything at 60 and then convert it if I don’t have to, because as I understand when you convert it it makes a new file that does not have accurate TC. So when it comes to onlining it, I will have a real nightmare on my hands I think.
Best,

Well, it is pretty darn easy to tell the difference between the 60P and 24P footage. The 60P still is VERY video smooth. But I guess I was “blessed” to have day of time code so that that and the 24P stuff was separate. Not a single slate, but the eye doesn’t lie.
