True 24p PAL – IS IT POSSIBLE W/FCP 5.0???

[Felix Bueno]

Have you tried using this option in the menu: View/Video Playback/Digital Cinema Desktop Preview – Full Screen. With this option you’ll see your footage in true 24fps, without jumping and shaking.

You need dual screen to get this option. I use this setup to see HD and SD footage in my LCD monitor, and it works great. For example, you can use a 23″ Apple Monitor to work and a conventional 19″ LCD monitor to see the footage. (2 23″ Apple Monitors will be great) I don’t know if it helps but it’s the only solution I can find.

Good Luck

Digital Desktop Preview is definitely a good monitoring option, but clients tend not to trust it, and we need the ability to layoff to tape in a moments notice. Unfortunately you cannot go to tape with Digital Desktop Preview. You need 50i PAL.

Thanks though,

I don’t get the whole speed up thing.

there are only so many pegs and so many holes.

You have 24 discrete frames. and you want to convert them into 50 discrete fields.

Something has to give. there has to be some temporal sampling… it can’t just be sped up.

24fps sped up 4.1% would “make a hole” wouldn’t it? You speed them up to make the 25th frame but where does that come from?
