There is an issue when mixing DVCPro HD and Apple ProRes422 (HQ) though. At least I’m running into an aspect ratio issue. If I choose to edit in DVCProHD, then my ProRes footage scales but the aspect ratio is wrong (elongated). And visa-versa with starting in ProRes (squished DVC). I guess FCP doesn’t auto distort between those formats.

IF IT DOES, please let me know how to do it. It would be nice to not run into this.
Right now I have an existing timeline I’d like to convert to ProRes.

Anyone know why this happens????

That’s another thing I was wondering. I can’t get it to work, it says it can’t conform media. I’ve looked to find where the tool is located to manually uninstall but no luck.

Wow! So it is actually know issue? Well that doesn’t make me feel any better but it makes my workarounds appropriate I guess. I’ve been capturing all audio critical footage in long streams, offsetting the audio and then reimporting and making sub-clips.

Is there another workaround that has become the “standard”???

Thanks!

Nice tutorial but not really relevant.

My footage was shot at 24p on a Varicam and I want it 24p on the timeline. So you’d think that a straight captire would work, and the video does, but the audio is out of sync. The FRC is a seperate issue that I simply brought up to let readers know I’m at a loss with the option of capturing at 59.94 and removing flagged/duplicate frames. The 59.94 captures are in sync.

So shouldn’t a straght 24p capture work with no audio problems? Or does everyone always go 60p?

Could there be a setting issue on the 1200a for output????
Last I checked it was set to 720p format, 59/60 frequency. If I put it in 23/24 frequency it acts weird (goes off the monitor).
