Frame Rate Discrepencies between HVX and FCP Settings
Hi,
Shooting on the HVX200
Recording Setup: 720p24PNEditing on FCP 5.0.4
Sequence Settings:
Frame Size: 960 x 720
Aspect Ratio: DVCPRO HD 720p60 (16:9)
Pixel Aspect Ratio: DVCPRO HD 720p60
Editing Timebase: 23.98
QuickTime Video Settings:
Compressor: DVCPRO HD 720p60Why are there FRAME RATE discrepancies between:
(a) the RECORDING SETUP of the HVX-200 (24PN) and
(b) the SEQUENCE SETTINGS: ASPECT RATIO, PIXEL ASPECT RATIO, and COMPRESSOR (60)?Maybe I’m lacking a fundamental understanding. I guess I don’t know why the Aspect Ratio, Pixel Aspect Ratio, and Compressor are all set at 720p60 (60 being the number in question). I’m assuming the 60 refers to frames per second.
If so, why wouldn’t it say 720p23.98 or at least 720p24 since I’m shooting 720p24PN?
Does this make sense?
I’d appreciate any clarification.
Thanks,

The 720p DVCPRo HD codec is just that 720p no matter the frame rate. The same codec is used for 60p and 24p. There is a 720p24 easy set up, I suggest you use that. When the footage plays out of FCP, you are actually watching a 720p60 stream (the pulldown is added on the fly). It’s just like watching 23.98 NTSC footage. FCP adds the pulldown on the fly to get up to 29.97.
Make sense?

Correction, there is a difference between NTSC and PAL frame rate DVCPRO HD.
