Material not consistent frame rate loaded from 1200a
My assistant is loading material shot @ 24fps DVCPRO HD 720p using the Panasonic 1200a deck – this is material shot @ 24fps on the Varicam. We’ve had a problem in the past with editing material loaded at 59.94fps, in 23.98 timelines, so this time we are making absolutely certain that the material is loaded 720p24 @ 23.98fps. He starts by testing a few mins, settings on the deck set to factory default, and all is well. But he has disovered that if his clips are longer than ~9mins, the material switches from 23.98 to 59.94. WTF? Basically, with the same piece of material on tape, no camera cuts, if he digitises an 8 min chunk, it comes in 720p60 @ 23.98fps. If he stretches it to 10mins, it has become 720p60 @ 59.94. What is going on?

Do you have a Kona card?
Any chance there’s camera bars in the middle there somewhere?

Firewire only available, no Kona card. Prefs trashed recently, but worth trying again.

Bars?
Also, you have to be sure that they clips were logged as 720p23.98. If not, try over riding the logged clip setting and capture again.
