  • FCP settings for xdcam footage

    Posted by Michael Golsby on March 9, 2010 at 9:12 am

    Please help as I am getting very frustrated. I have captured my footage off my DVCAM camera at real time through a firewire.It is 16:9 shot at 50i. I have captured it using DV pal anamorphic. Sequence settings were Pro res 422 anamorphic with field dominance lower (even)with advanced settings pro res 422,interlaced top field first and enabled 4.4.4 chroma filtering.I exported quicktime conversion, format quicktime movie using options pro res 422 and 16:9 etc. I then saved to a flash drive and sent to the dub company.They told me it was flickering like there was an interlacing problem. Could someone please let me know why I am getting this interlacing or sync problem? Thankyou so much.

    First, your subject does not match what you described.

    Your sequence settings should be DV Pal anamorphic and nothing else. Easy setup will help you.
