Capturing with Sony V1U-24p
Hey guys, I had a quick question in regards to capturing with Sony’s V1U.
I shot some footage this weekend with the V1U, and here was my work flow. I had it on the 1080i setting, but use a normal DV tape instead of HDV, and shot in 24p (not 24a option). Obviously this is still Standard Definition, but brings the question what should my capture settings be? I have been reading that FCP has some problems with 24p timeline…Is this still accurate? Any advice or tips will be very appreciated. Thanks guys!

Nope it is HDV, you do not need to use a HDV tape to record HDV. The only difference in the HDV tapes is that they are tested and held to a higher standard then other mini DV tapes.
There are no “technical solutions” to your “artistic problems”.
Don’t let technology get in the way of your creativity! -
Oh…my mistake…I was under the impression that since I was using DV tape, that it was technically standard def. Thanks you very much for the quick response. So will there be any problems with the 24p on an FCP open timeline if I ever needed to add standard def footage to the project?

I did a 3 camera opera shoot all with V1U’s in the 24P mode (not 24pA) about a year ago.
You will be capturing it with the “HDV 1080i firewire basic) easy setup in fcp. Thats the only one that worked for me.
The footage will have the cadence of 24p but will actually be 60i footage, so you will not have any problem intermixing other footage shot in 60i / 29.97fps
