Thanks Peter,

Bit of a bummer, that no support for MXF. Guess I’ll stay FCP presently and maybe give Vegas a go.

Thanks Alan

Second the XDcamHD thinking. A much better camera (ask Discovery channel not me) and just archive the disks. Mp4 proxys thrown in!

It was this hassle with P2 that put me off.

To be totally Honest Nate, Once I’d seen what the SD lens could do, I chickened out of trying a good HD one after for fear of not being so pleased with SD afterall.

Ignorance, sometimes is bliss.

Now all is clear -I think, thanks guys.

So going back to my original question, I’ll likely be able to force a stop frame animation sequence providing I collect enough frames to satisfy the gop thing. Blimey it gets complicated doesn’t it? Hmmm no powering down the unit in this process then.

Also too I guess I must make sure that after the animation sequence I expose at least another 12 frames to ensure that the gop is complete.

Any answers to the question of whether the P350 will down convert and output to firewire? I must admit that I’d rather taken it for granted that it would do that.

Thanks

Okay, tried the F350 with a broadcast SD lens now and it looks fine.

I didn’t do a side by side comparison with a 1/2HD lens but my Fujinin A10x4.8 works well on the camera with the Sony 2/3inch adaptor.

That was the deciding factor, I bought the camera there and then.

So when the manual says ‘one frame every hour’ it really means ‘one two second clip every hour’? I can’t see this working for time lapse very well – or even at all!!!

Oh yes I’d forgotten the gop. Blast it, sort of spoils the whole process doesn’t it?

What about in DVcam mode (SD)? I guess the problem shouldn’t affect that.

I’ve no idea why FCP is so lame with extending the graphic to whatever duration is necessary. I know of no other NLE that has this needless limitation.

Has anyone any ideas why this feature should be so.

Thanks Carroll I was hoping there would be a way around this. Obviously it would be better to do this via the remote control would this be possible? And just how fiddly will this process be – literally just a start recording push, followed by a stop one?

BTW in my recent XDcam researches I’ve seen your name pop up a lot – well done.
