  • Importing Normal 24p into FCP6

    Posted by Johnb on October 13, 2007 at 7:17 am

    I recently shot a documentary with a DVX100B (on the F5 setting, which I believe is Normal 24p) and I’m currently trying to import it in a way that will preserve the look using Final Cut 6 (part of the Studio 2). What, exactly, should I be using for Format, fps, etc?

    Should I use the standard DV – NTSC at 29.97 fps? Or, should I be capturing using a DV – NTSC 24p (23.98 fps)? And, what should I set the sequence settings to and edit in?

    Also, what, if I do wish to create a 24p project (that will be duplicated on many DVDs) do I need to do with Cinema Tools? / DVD Studio 4?

    What about Anamorphic? If I want widescreen, should I be messing with those settings at all?

    Lots of questions, I know. Can someone please help?

    I shot the project in Normal 24p (the F5 setting on the DVX100B), and have just captured it using DV-NTSC and 29.97 fps. I am planning on utilizing After Effects / Moving Image to add graphics. Will I then have to use Cinema Tools for the pulldown procedure?

    Thanks for your help, Dave. Much appreciated.
