    P2 on Mac Issue

    Posted by Ben Adler on February 2, 2009 at 10:23 pm

    Hi,

    I am having an issue with my P2 footage shot on the HPX 171. In the camera playback it looks fine but when I watch it on a computer in FCP or P2 Viewer it looks infinitesimaly accelarated. This gives a very strange feel and I have no idea how to correct it other than putting it to 98% speed which is obviously crazy.

    Any help much appreciated!

    First thing to do is ask yourself what format did you shoot. Next question is: what is your Final Cut sequence setting? Does it match your original footage?

    Thanks for your response Jim. I am shooting DVCPro HD 720 25PN. My fcp settings are also set to this but in the Compressor it reads it as DVCPro HD 720p50. There doesn’t seem to be any codec for 720/25p, or for native. Does this need a particular codec.

    It seems like everything is ok in FCP.

    Footage also looks off when viewed in P2 Viewer directly from card. But, again, it’s fine when viewed in the camera.

    Thanks for your help,
    Ben
