Panasonic 50″ plasmas support it. Originally more than $2500, of course.

June 12, 2014 at 8:32 pmAnd 7 isn’t a dog at mixing frame rates? It’s practically incapable of doing so in an acceptable professional fashion. I mean there really aren’t many variables here. You shouldn’t try to put 30 in 24 in any system and expect pretty results. But you should be able to mix 24 in a 60i sequence just fine in any professional system. FCP legacy can’t do it with proper pulldown. So you just get a repeated 4th frame. iMovie Pro adds pulldown. In FCP legacy if you put 60p into a 60i sequence you end up with every other frame being ignored. If you do the same in FCP X, each frame of the 60p will be matched up with a field. How is FCP legacy not pretty much useless at this? And “in a world” (say it like a hollywood trailer) where we’re being thrown a mishmash of footage codecs and frame rates, I’m glad I’ve moved on to a system that can handle them properly.

… or paying a few dollars for a movie ticket.

That would be Premiere Pro CC. Right? 😉

48fps – still based on 24, not 60. Cut in 24fps and assembled in the DI to the original 48.

June 12, 2014 at 8:41 pmI like Premiere CC just fine. But I let my CC expire. The more I think about the software renting concept the more it irks me. And now I seem to be collecting MotionVFX templates and plug-ins which are Motion/FCP X only of course.
However, just yesterday I got handed a rough project in that was done in Premiere. Very rough. But instead of starting from scratch I rented Premiere for the month ($29) just so I could export the xml and convert it to FCP X via 7toX. Adobe wins again.

“If you run into that again just send the PPro project file to me and I’ll send you an XML back.

Sorry.
