Does FCP 6.0.2 supports 59.94 drop frame ?

[Shane Ross]

FCP 6.0.2 now has support for 720p 59.94 drop frame timelines.

And I gave you a workaround on your other question.

Yes.

And just for frame of reference next time… When you refer to 59.94, that is drop frame. If it were non-drop, it would be 60.

Nope…

We do not work with round integer numbers in NTSC land

while 59.94 is drop frame in 1080i

it can be both Drop and Non Drop in 720p….

the history with Progressive formats is they are usually non drop, interlace is always played out as DF.

23.98 is non drop- the recording method is physically slowed down to match the DF timing for a direct conversion to NTSC for viewing and playback.
