You need the Mpeg streamclip software to actually do this. You need both that an the QT component.

I think that an older version of FCP is being used in this case. It seems like a problem that used to exist back in version three or early version of four.
it is either that or you have edited everything in unlimited RT mode and Print to video will not execute until the timeline has been rendered.

This has been the perfect, reliable combination for me.

Mpeg Stremaclip by squared five software.
You have to spend the 29 dollars for teh Mpeg 2 QT component from Apple in order to make it work.
Your cameraman send you an encoded DVD file. You should ask for the originals as this stuff will be further severely compressed.

John,
One more thing. I just re read your post and noticed it was shot on the XL2. This means that you did not actually shoot in advanced mode because the XL2 does not lay down the frames in that patern (like the DVX100 or 200 or any of the DVCPro camera’s can do.
This means you are officially in a 29.97 project with pull down. You should edit everything in this mode and then you can run the project through cinema tools and have cinema tools generate the 23.98 sequences or cut list. The only real reason to cut 23.98, is if there is a strong possibility the project will need a filmout.
I stopped shooting 24P and went to 24Pa to always give myself the flexibiliy of filmout. This probably explains why FCP can’t see the 23.98 frames, they were never recorded.

I shoot and edit everything 24PA. IN 29.97 projects I just capture regular DV ntsc. IN 23.98 projects I capture with advance pulldown removal.
The source you are capturing is actually 29.97 and the flagged frames need to be removed. Hence the preset (advance frame removal) The camera always records at 29.97 no matter what mode you are in, but it is laying down the cadence for 23.98 through falgged frames on a digital stream.. So FCP is removing the flagged frames frame a 29.97 source while it is capturing.
The captured clip should be showing 23.98. Be sure that the footage was shot in the 24P(a) advanced mode. If not you have to run it through cinema tools.
I have edited my past 2 films natively at 23.98 with the K2 card displaying in the film frame rates.
Hope this helps.

Tim,
Maybe consider this.
Save yourself the time of a ton of capturing and do a line cut live. This will involve a switcher, running matched code to all the camera’s and the record deck(s), but in this scenario you could load larger DV or Betacam tapes and be covered for 90 to 120 minutes of recording time.
You can then go in and patch the line cut where you have errors from the tapes recorded in camera. They you only have to load shots from the sources and time you need to.
Sometimes a little extra on the front end saves you a ton of aggrivation on the back end. THink of the captue and edit time you will save. It is well worth considering as an alternative to all of the capturing, storage and multicam Pain in the behind.
You can run the composite outputs to a four source switcher and record to camera tapes. This way you will have a line cut and ISO’s and the cameramen won’t be guessing either.

IN FCP,
ONe of the first things you need to check is that the sequence settings match the settings of the captured footage.
This happens to me all the time and EASY setups are the solution. I have projects in HD, SD, DV, DV50. Whenevery you swith projects you seed to go to the easy set ups as a first set to be sure that everything is matched up.
That is the very first step in FCP. ALways.
