  • FCP sequence settings for shooting 720P60fps on P2 for broadcast export

    Posted by Osiris Castaneda on November 18, 2012 at 8:09 pm

    I am shooting on a P2 at 720P60fps and am wondering what my sequence settings and export settings should be in FCP 7 for export to cable tv/broadcast? Thanks for your help.

    Practically every deliverable spec I have seen for Broadcast deliverables is for 50i or 60i 1920 x 1080. Some cable channels and broadcasters do accept 720 60p but be prepared to cross convert. It is always advisable to edit in the same format and frame rate as the camera originals and cross convert at the end.

    If you know what the main end deliverable will be, it might make you reconsider your shoot format.

    Edit on the format you shot. Deliver to the spec they want later. But there is no way we can tell you what that is, as delivery spec varies greatly from network to network. You gotta get specs from them
