  • FCP 720P Layback to HDCAM SR not ending on the right field, any suggestions?

    Posted by Dylan Jones on May 6, 2012 at 10:55 pm

    I am trying to layoff a 720P 59.94 DF Apple Pro res HQ sequence from Final cut V7 With AJA Kona 3 card. The out frame is ending on Field 1 when it should carry to field 2 resulting in the preceeding shot to come 1 field/frame early. There is no offset for half a frame in FCP so I am not sure what I can do.

    I’ve tried: All AJA kona pulldown options, single field/full frame option, offset +1 & – 1 Frame, +/-2 frame etc. Any other suggestions kindly appreciated

    Thanks in Advance, Dylan

    Sounds like both devices are not locked to the same reference. There should not be different fields in P.

    The single field /full frame option is for display on a paused frame and should be on frame for the most part. allows you to see interfield motion when parked on a frame, If you have a monitor that will display both fields eg when a 23.98 sequence has been converted to 29.97 some edits will occur on field2 of the converted footage
