Editing Canon HV20 24P HDV in FCP5
Hello!
I just got the Canon HV20 24P HDV camera. It’s great. Unfortunately, working in Final Cut Pro is not.Situation? Despite Final Cut allowing a 1080 24P “preset,” it captures as 60i. Cinema Tools will not inverse cine. I read the Creative Cow magazine #2 article on HDV workflow. Unfortunately, converting to DVCPROHD would be great, but that only has settings for 720 24P, not 1080 24P.
Anyone have a solution? Lumiere HD doesn’t cite the Canon HV20 as compatible…yet.
The only solution seems freaking AE7: deinterlacing there.
Is there a better way?
Thanks,

Anthony, make sure you’re using at least FCP version 5.1.4. We have a project here shot with that Canon camera, the pre-set is HDV1080p24, at a frame rate of 23.98, and plays back without problems. Video really never gets recorded at 24p, but 23.976p (sometimes expressed as 23.98p), since it records it over a 60i (59.94i) transport, using one of two different pulldown methods. It’s 60i no matter what. I hope this helps.

I’m having the same problem. My only question is that when using this HDV 1080p24 preset you no longer get 1920 X 1080 dimensions instead it’s 1440 X 1080. Can someone explain this? I thought high definition video was either 1280 X 720 or 1920 X 1080. That’s even written up in Final Cuts manual which doesn’t mention the 1440 dimension.
Thanks,

HDV 1080 always records at 1440 x 1080. HV20’s CMOS has the resolution of 1920 x 1080, but the recording HDV format is always 1440 x 1080. That goes for any other HDV camcorders (except 1280 x 720 format).
