How do I find clip recording format on P2 card
If someone shoots mutiple recording formats on the same P2 card is there a way to find out what recording format those clips where shot in.
I’m using FCP 5.14 and if I shoot 720pn and 1080pa on the same P2 card and then go to P2 import how would I know what clips need removal of advanced frames like the 1080pa would need if used in a 23.98 timeline and the 720pn would not need advanced frame removal.
I know I can take notes at the tme of shooting but is there another way.
Thanks

It’s all pretty much sorted out on ingest but you can also check in the MCR on the camera.

yes but at the point of ingest how would I know which clips need to have advanced pulldown checked and which don’t if the camera isn’t available.
Lets say i dumped 20 cards onto harddrives on location each card has an average of 30 clips on it in mixed recording formats. I get back home and need to import into FCP by unwrapping the MXF’s. Which need advanced pulldown and which do not if shooting in the formats in my previous post in a 23.98 timeline?
If I didn’t take notes when i was shooting what does one do?

There is a check box in 5.14 that removes advanced pulldown. Since the 720pn footage does not need pull down for the 23.98 timeline I would uncheck that box. I would check it for the 1080pa. so when you say it gets sorted out on ingest am I missing something?

I just realized that if there is no solution to this would it be better to shoot 1080pa and 720p instead of 720pn then leave the advanced pulldown box checked all the time. Seems that would eliminate the issue of checking or unchecking the box because both would need advanced pulldown removal to work in a 23.98 timeline.
If anyone is curious why I’m asking is because I want to use slow motion in a 1080pa project.

Well I tried that and it seems if i shoot 720p24 with a frame rate of 60 and checking and unchecking the advanced pulldown box did nothing. Both ways imported as 59.94. I had to use the frame rate coverter to get it into a 23.98 timelime without rendering and slow motion. I am confused and will end my input and hopefully someone can set me straight.

My apologies for posting so much on this. I don’t want to take up peoples time or send them in the wrong direction and this will be it.
I shot 720pn 24 at 60 frames and unchecked the advanced pulldown box and did that again with the advanced pulldown checked and there is no difference It seems Noah your advice was right on and that FCP takes care of itself on ingest.
