Rich,
Set your Frame buffer to 1080sf23.98 that becomes your primary format as well as your video playback setting. Then set your secondary format to 525i29.97. The pull down to 29.97 will happen on the downconvert in real time. I dump to beta from Apple pro-res 23.98 timelines at least 3-4 times a week and I’ve never had an issue. I’m also uploading a screen shot of my Kona LHI control panel so you can see my settings

Craig,
thanks fo the quick response. The station will not accept MPEG 2 but I do have other stations that will. I have a station that wants a 35 mbit mpeg 2 file and I get the same results. Is there something different that you do when making an MPEG 2 transport stream that reduces aliasing on red text?
Thanks

I stand corrected Gary!! thanks for the info.

There are no settings to capture to DVCPROHD on the kona. You have to capture to uncompressed or apple pro-res. I have an LHI and I go through the same thing. You have to bypass the Kona and capture firewire 800 to capture in the DVCPRO HD codec. I usually just capture to 720 pro res and work that way.

Bob,
I know the FS1 is great bang for the buck but how does it stack up against the Panasonics.

Half days set a bad precedence.. because the clients will begin to expect it. It didn’t take you a half day to acquire the skills that set you apart to obtain business from a client so why would anyone short change themselves. I always give the client an estimate and strive to maximize my time by finishing the project early and under budget. It’s called profit.

You might want to check the Nikkon Site and see if there’s a plug in for FCP that allows you to import clips via log and transfer. The reason why log and transfer work with Canon’s because there is a plug in that exits
[ben smallzman] “”contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media”
To use the clips FCP has to unwrap them from whatever Native codec the Nikon records to and create a codec that’s condusive to editing like Apple Pro-res. It needs to to browse the original folder created the camera. That’s why it asking for a directory structure.

[Thomas Miller] ”
On a side note, which is better quality? The 8 or 10-bit uncompressed or the DVCPRO?”
uncompressed is higher quality than DVCPROHD and requires a lot faster raid and through put. The highest quality you can achieve is uncompressed 10 bit. I would just listen to the client and give them the DVCPROHD. It’s a compressed codec but it’s great codec. Especially if you don’t have the fastest computer on the planet. While I do agree with you about pro res I’ve learned that when the client ask for something specific just give it to them. Double check to see if it’s 1080 or 720, then make sure you’re capturing the right frame rate. It will come in as 23.98 (24p) or 59.94(same as 30fps) for progressive and 29.97 for interlaced.
