Or 24p can be sped up to 25p for PAL, and 25p can be slowed down to 24p for NTSC.

Black should always be at 0% in FCP no matter what.

Try the FCP built in “proc amp” filter.

Adding an effect to the timeline to boost the blacks will a) reduce piture quality, and b) take a lot of time to render. You don’t have to do it often before it becomes more cost effective to get either a proc amp, or to just farm it out to someone else – or even a Decklink or Kona card which will play out the DV timeline direct to Y’PbPr with the correct analogue voltages for you.

But only pay them 40/60 % of the price!

Ah, but it should be at 0% in FCP. That’s correct.
Read this article I wrote for more info:

Who installed it? An XSR should never be sold with less than a FULL compliment of drives. What are you using for your metadata controller? Where and how are you storing the metadata?
On a fully populated XSR you should be getting a conservative, reliable 300MB/s read and 200MB/s write when configured as two RAID5’s RAIDed 0, ie RAID50, direct connected.

You really need a fully populated Xserve RAID. Anything less is just not worth it for any kind of “speed” you also need other drives for a metadata volume for XSAN.

Thought – Apply film filter to clip, then turn that filter off. Then you’ll be able to real time edit it. You’ll have to go through and turn them all on again after though…. Still painful?

Actually, for this conversion, there’s a better method. First, bump your timeline to “uncompressed”, make a movie, then take it to Cinema Tools and use it’s “conform” option to make 23.98fps from 25p.
