  • Matching HDV 60i to DVCPRO50 24p in FCP

    Posted by Smdsmd on September 17, 2006 at 4:17 am

    I have a project being shot with a Panasonic DVCPRO50 camera at 24P. We have some other footage being shot in HDV on a Sony HVR-Z1U, and I’m cutting in Final Cut Pro.

    Does anyone know a good way, either within FCP or through a 3rd-party app, that I can convert the HDV footage to look as closely as possible to the DVCPRO footage?

    Thanks in advance,

    Lets talk Apples to Apples….
    First, are you going to shoot with the HVX at 1080 24p or 720 24p??
    Because DVCPRO 50 is 720×480…
    How much material will you have from the Z1? It might be more
    pratical to rent a 2nd HVX and forget the Z1..
    You can in FCP convert the Z1 footage, that involves a proper
    de-interlacing and frame rate conversion from 29.97 to 23.976
    using Cinema Tools, this should work for video only,
    might get messy of you need to work with on-camera audio….
    Again, run some test before spending weeks shooting footage…
