    Varicam FCP settings

    Posted by Joe Ocho on October 19, 2007 at 4:54 am

    I shot some video with the Varicam at 24fps. I am capturing for the first time to FCP. Should my sequence setting be as follows:

    FRAME SIZE: HD 960X720
    PIXEL ASPECT RATIO: HD (960×720)
    Lower fields
    COMPRESSOR: DVCPRO720p60

    Please let me know ASAP if this is correct…

    Thanks,

    Joe

    You could digitize it two ways:

    – 60fps (24P with a 60P 2:3 pulldown) This is the exact info on the tape.
    – 24fps (removing the 2:3 pulldown so you end up with a native 23.98 file)

    Easiest thing to do is select Easy Setup – DVCPROHD 720P24 for 23.98 or DVCPROHD 720P60 if you want to keep all 60 frames. These will have all of the right settings.
