monitor 24p over firewire
Can I monitor DVCAM 24p timeline via firewire, or do I need am AJA IO or some such box?
I thought FCP could add pulldown as the sequence played?

No need for more hardware… FCP does this all by itself. Adds the pulldown when viewing externally back… so just hook up a monitor to a transcoding DV device (camera or deck or ADVC box) and edit.

I must be doing something wrong. When I play back footage in the 24 frame per second sequence it only stays parked on one frame when I start play and jumps to the last frame when I stop play – it doesn’t play back the clip for viewing on an external NTSC monitor.

mmmmmm. this is supposed to work OK. Might trash your preferences. Running 5.1.4 on OS 10.4.8 or 9 and QT 7.1.5?

It does indeed work. I offlined an entire feature with this. Are you sure your sequence/media is 23.98 and not 24?
And are your external video settings correct? All frames, Apple firewire NTSC?

Yes, I trashed prefs. Running 5.1.4 on OSX10.4.9 but am only Quicktime 7.1.3. I thought Quicktime Pro didn’t work in 7.1.5 or does one have to re-license it or something?
Anyways I can scrub through the clip, but it just won’t play back at running speed.

Update QuickTime… try going up to the latest. Won’t hurt things…

How are you monitoring?
What else is connected to your computer?
How fast are your drives?
What easy setup did you use?
Did you have to render your timeline at any time?
What pull down pattern is selected in the rt menu?
What kind of computer do you have?
Do you have a capture card?

Sequence media is 24. Shot 24fps super 35mm 3-perf and telecined to DVCAM 29.97 NDF. I reverse telecined to 24fpa. Import media into FCP and trying to edit in a 24fps timeline.
I can drag the clips into a 29.97 timeline and get an orange bar on top and plays fine over NTSC monitor. Is this what I should edit in? and then copy sequence to a 24fps timeline for outputting EDL for DI when picture is locked?

There is your issue. You should reverse tele to 23.98 via Cinema Tools. 23.98 will output to 29.97 via FW onto your NTSC monitor. 24fps sequences/media will not output to 29.97 via firewire. One of the hardware cards may do this but I’m not 100% sure. The old Aurora film card used to do this but they’re long gone.

You can conform 24 to 23.98 in cinema tools as well.
