On the PC you can use RayLight’s RayMaker utility.
On FCP you can probably do it when you import the footage on 5.1.4 by telling it to remove the duplicate frames, or by running Cinema Tools.

I was referencing this post:
>>The extra resolution of 1080 makes a significant difference for green screen shooting.<< So when he said 720/24pN, I was just saying that 1080/24pN would provide a cleaner image for keying from. —————– Get the most from your DVX camera.

If you’re using FCP, Noah Kadner has a new DVD set out that explains everything you’d need to know or would want to know about 24p editing from a DVX using FCP.

[davidjaku] “but some of it at various degrees of slow motion (which is a strange statemtent but apparently the camera shoots everything at 60 and flags cetain shots that are not 60) – anyway, I don’t understand it very well and didn’t manage to find a site that explained it in a way that made sense to me”
The HVX doesn’t always shoot at 60; it shoots at whatever frame rate you tell it to. However, in certain modes it always RECORDS at 60fps. So what happens is that you can end up with duplicate frames; as an example, take 30fps. If you’re shooting 30fps, but the HVX is recording 60fps, then what happens is every frame gets recorded twice. One frame is flagged as a “real” frame, the other frame is flagged as a “duplicate.” FCP’s Frame Rate Converter tool knows how to throw away the duplicate frames and keep only the “real” frames.
If you shoot in 720/24pN mode, or 720/30pN mode, then that process is done for you automatically. If they shot in the 720/60p mode, you have to do that process manually.

[gary adcock] “Only if you do not count the progressive nature of 720p.
Interlaced footage often does not look as good as progressive content does for VFX work.”True, but they’re talking about 1080/24p (presumably). Keying 1080/60i would certainly be less desirable, but keying 1080/24p would give better results than 720/24p, and 1080/30p would give better results than 720/30p. This is true on the HVX, may be less true on some of the bigger cameras.

[Tony Cope] “the ways to get longer than 1/24 – 350d exposure per frame? (Can I expose each frame for 1 or 2 seconds each?)”
You can get 1/2-second exposure if you put the camera in 2fps mode and set the shutter to 350.0 degrees.

[Joe Walker] “It seemed to me, that when you shoot overcranked with a shutter speed of 1/120th, that the footage seems to have less of a “video” looking motion blur, and more of a “filmic” looking motion blur. Has anyone else noticed this?”
Yes, that’s exactly what’s happening. In film, the shutter speed tracks with the frame rate of the camera, so your exposure time changes based on your frame rate. With a 180-degree shutter you get half the exposure time per frame, so 24fps = 1/48, and 60fps = 1/120.
You can get this same behavior automatically in the HVX by choosing the syncro scan shutter. Instead of manually choosing 1/120, set the shutter to 180.0d and set the shutter speed to display 180.0d on your LCD (use the shutter buttons to choose the shutter speed between the slowest and fastest; that’s where the syncro scan shutter is). In FILM CAM mode, with the shutter set to the syncro scan shutter speed, it’ll automatically adjust the exposure time to give you proper film-style motion blur at any frame rate.

Our HVX BootCamp training DVD is available on ebay and Amazon.com too, and is also available from B&H and Abel Cine Tech. Any of those will ship to Spain.

[Benjamin18] “I’m going to be shooting a feature film in 720p24pN, and you can’t do native 24p through firewire realtime, can you?”
No, and yes. No, you can’t, because the HVX doesn’t output video data when in 24pN mode. But yes, in that you could put it in regular 720p/24p mode (not “N”) and DV Rack 2.0 HD is smart enough to strip out the extra frames and record it in the same mode as 24pN mode. So you get the same benefit, just in a different way.
