Gary,
I am not using FCP but rather an Avid Nitris. As long as I can get the media out of the 1700 deck transcoded to 1080i/59.97 thats all I need. That way I can do the offline in 30 frame and load all the HDCAM and DVC ProHD as 30 frame footage and all will be well.
Thanks for all your help, I am not really as familiar with the Panasonic product line as I am with the HDCAM stuff.
Thanks again…
