Yikes… a 40 second clip took 8 minutes to export. I think I may have to think this through a bit more.

Being there is about 2-3 hours of footage to be processed, I would prefer only having to do this for the final clips used in the program.

This is my first adventure in P2 land so the Kona 3/tape capture thing may be a better way to go. It look like I may need to rent a deck and try getting a Kona 3 card somehow.

Yes, the footage was shot 1080 60i.

I don’t have magic bullet but I do have Natress Film filters. Would they perform the same task ie. de-interlace and conform to 24p?

Thanks

I don’t have a Kona card and I don’t have the P2 camera though, all I get is the files on a firewire drive and I import those.

I guess I’ll have to do a test of converting files and exporting quicktimes from within FCP to see how they work.

Thanks

Got it. Yes the folders have to be named CONTENTS. I just renamed them and all is well.

Thanks Shane

Could it be a problem that this firewire drive is formatted with MS-DOS File System?

I’m not sure if DSR25 has timecode input port on it. How are you going to jam the time-code so it correponds accurately with the camera original tape?

[Daryl K davis]

Not entirely correct. DAT recorders use framerates with timecode, so audio recorded on location can in fact be measured in frames. It is the audio timecode that is sent to the slate for syncing and tracking audio timecode.

[Daryl K davis]

One thing I have run into is that slugs need to be there if you nest your timeline to ‘burn’ in a time-code window for your output. Otherwise the timecode window disappears where there is empty space in the timeline.

I jumped to 10.4.6 beacuse I’m between projects right now. Did tests all day and so far so good.

[Daryl K davis]

Specifics would help. To which of your internal drives are you capturing your media to. Doesn’t make sense that your audio goes out of sync when you burn a DVD. Is it in sync in your FCP timeline? Did you mixdown when you created you quicktime reference before encoding with compressor?

So many questions and unles you provide specifics on your hardware, FCP version and OS and all, it’s really hard to help out.
