Importing HVX200/P2 footage shot at 1080i60

[Matthew Dorris]

Actually Damon could you clarify your workflow a little bit more?

[Tim Toidze]

Dear Damon,

I am having a problem absolutely identical to yours.

Two quick questions:

1. Can you expand a bit on your workflow?
2. Did you get an answer from Apple regarding this issue?

Thank you very much,

Tim

I know it’s been awhile since this thread was active, but thought I would post here to make it a little more clear to anyone looking for an answer on this.

I’ve found the simplest thing to do is what Damon suggested, and I’ll elaborate on it. Here are the steps:

1. Select your 30p footage in the FCP browser.
2. right-click and batch export it.
3. In the batch export window click the settings button at the bottom, set a destination and then under settings, set the export for DVCPRO HD 1080i60 and make self contained (at least I assume self-contained would be a good idea). Then close the settings window and click export.
4. After the batch is complete, re-import into FCP, select the new clips in the browser, and under tools, select cinema tools reverse telecine. Once that’s complete, you should have 24p footage.

Hope that helps.
