DVCPRO HD 720 24P project + 1080i 30 in the same timeline.
Greeting earthlings,
I’m staring a new project on FCP 7.
15 Hours of footage were shot with:
Panasonic HVX200
Format: DVCPRO HD 720 pn (native) 24p
Timebase: 23.98 fpsI will edit my project and timeline accordingly.
Now I got today 1 DV TAPE footage that was shot with the
Sony Z1 – 1080i 30I have no experience with HDV but I heard its a headache to edit.
What is the preferred work-flow?I heard its possible to capture to ProRes 422 on the fly stright from HDV 1080i TAPE.
1. How bad is my situation?
2. Will it work good with my Timeline?
(performance effects rendering etc)?
3. Will the image look OK?
(I’m converting from 1080i 30 to 720P 24)Please tell me how to best approach it.
These are my first steps in Final Cut Pro World.
Please help me…

I’ve never used HDV, so take this with a grain of salt. Whether you capture as HDV or ProRes, you’ll still need to de-interlace and re-time your footage. I’d do that in Compressor making sure to turn on Frame Controls (in Compressor’s Inspector) and select the highest quality settings. If it were me, I’d capture HDV, then use Compressor to go from HDV to DVCPro 720PN at 23.976.

First of all thanks!
OK – I don’t have access to the computer right now (Im shooting B-rolls)Lets see if I got this right.
– First thing is to capture with settings that match HDV 1080i
– export the captured clip into Compressor.
– convert into DVCPRO-HD 720 24P file
– Import the file back to the project – thats it?can you please refer to my first questions in the openning post?
3. Will the image look OK?

Don’t send to Compressor from FCP. Use Export Quicktime with Current Settings. Then use that file in Compressor. Be sure to turn on Frame Controls in Compressor and choose best for all quality settings. Compressor will do a good job – not as good as a hardware conversion, but probably good enough. Do a test of a short segment and see.
