Final Cut Pro Project/Sequence Settings

Okay so I think I’m set here. This is the workflow I’m looking at:
Footage is shot in 1080/24pA mode, transfered on site to a Firewire drive. Those MXF will be imported into my FCP 5.1 system, converted to Quicktime files remaining on 23.98p. Edit on a 24 timeline by setting up with a 1080i DVCPRO HD preset> altering the timebase to 23.98> Edit!
When the MXF files are transfered to a Firewire drive will they automatically be kept as 23.98 or is there a setting to transfer the footage at various frame rates? What I want to know is do I need to tell the DP to keep it at 23.98 when he transfers?
Re: Monitoring. I’m just going to have to make do with what I have (check my profile to see my gear). I have an older DP 2.0 G5 that isn’t PCI-x/PCIe ready so getting a decent HD capture card isn’t really an option. I’d buy a AJA or Decklink card tomorrow but my G5 doesn’t have the right PCI slots to accommodate.

If you want to stay machine independent (regarding card slots) for monitoring, have a look a t the Matrox MXO.

We output to HDCAM, 1080p 23.98. And we were going to deliver HDCAM Texted Closed Captioned masters to the network, but found that HDCAM tapes have trouble accepting a Closed Caption feed. So we ended up delivering D5 to the network, which accepts the CC file just fine.

I was looking at HDCAM too. Good to know about the CC.
