fps, speed and fields problem
I’m editing DVCPRO HD 108050i shoot on Panasonic AGHPX500. They also shot some footage at 72050p cause they wanted it to be in slow motion. But, when i transfer 720p files, they are 50fps but they play at normal speed even when i put them in 108050i sequence. Should they be 50% slower because they are filmed at higher frame rate or I just didn’t understand it correctly.
Other project I’m editing is shoot on Panasonic DVX100BE at 25p. But when I try to capture it, it has lower field. I changed DV PAL compressor in Capture settings to Progressive, but it is still capturing with lower field. What I’m doing wrong?
Tnx

No. FC is working correct. If you put NTSC (30ps) in a PAL sequence, the footage do not play slower.
You need to conform your 50p as 25p, them will play 50% the speed.[Meeroo Sareew] “Other project I’m editing is shoot on Panasonic DVX100BE at 25p. But when I try to capture it, it has lower field.

You are doing nothing wrong. Many cameras shoot Progressive but record in an interlaced fashion.
Just treat the footage as Progressive. I don’t work with those formats but I gues that you just need to heck them as progressive in the FCs Browser.

I never did any conforming. Can you tell me how to do that?

Do you mean I can just put them in progressive sequence and work like that?

I’ve never did it too. Is your time to learn something new;-)
I know that is something really easy to do in Cinema-Tools (I have never installed). Just to say to conform to 25p.[Meeroo Sareew] “Do you mean I can just put them in progressive sequence and work like that?”
Those clips can be read as NONE, Upper or lower first. there is no visual difference. But if you go to apply any kind of change-in-time effect, they have to be treated as Progressive (none) otherwise each field will be affected for the effect in a different way.

DV is interlaced lower field first. The camera is recording a progressive image within the interlaced frame. This is normal and the setting of lower field is also normal.
