    I have FCP 5.1.4 and I’m capturing via Firewire from JVC GY-HD110U. The tapes were shot in 1080i at a frame rate of 24. That is what my camera is set at now. In FCP 5.1.4, the closest settting is a frame rate of 24, but 1080p, not i. When I import under these settings, the clip in my browser window always comes in at a Frame Size of 1280×720, and a Vid Rate of 23.98 fps. The compressor also says HDV720p24. My understanding is that 1080i24 is the highest quality choice. Why is this happening? How can I fix it? And is capturing all my footage in 1080i24 the best way to log if that’s how the tapes were shot? Thank you so much for your help.

    If the tapes were shot in 1080i on another camera your JVC camera likely won’t play them back since it’s a 720P format. If they were shot on the JVC camera, then they’re 720P not 1080i.

    In the Video Format HDV PB Output, you can select either 1080i or 720p. I chose and shot the whole project in 1080i. ??
