GARY FCP Settings

[michael_kroesenx] “after I’m done editing with FCP using a 24p timeline how to I lay back to tape using Firewire?”

I have never laid back to an hdv tape, so I am the wrong person to ask that question of.

find out what you need to deliver on and figure a good way to get to that. HDV is not a mastering format. Its an acquisition and (sometimes) editing format. No facility I know of will take HDV, and for good reason. Generate a QuickTime Movie of the thing (lossless, not conversion) then find a way to get it to the format you need. Find a nice person who owns either an AJA or BlackMagic or Matrox box and get them to output it for you to the tape format you really want.Or stick with a QuickTime Movie file that can be re-purposed in nearly any way you can think of

Understandable. Why would you when your doing uncompressed HD. Duh. I do appreciate the info you were able to provide. If I run into trouble I will insist on getting a Kona card.

Well I know you are correct because I am crying. Seems we made a huge mistake and shot hours of footage at 720P60 and now cannot capture to FCP ver5.1.4. Do you have any ideas on how we can get through this stressful situation? Even if it involves copying the footage to a different format.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
