You’re far better off mixing the 24p AE stuff with 24p varicam stuff on a 24p timeline, and then at the end, downconverting to NTSC.

No Alpha as far as I remember. Personally I like PhotoJPEG75% (Y’CbCr 4:2:2) and PhotoJPEG100% (RGB 4:4:4) as very lightly compressed codecs for both SD and HD. There’s no real time on them at all in FCP, but someone posted a hack on the decklink forum here at the cow to allow that.

It’s root 2.
Limit of Fibbonacci sequence ratios is (1+Root5) / 2, otherwise known as the golden ratio.

Larger frame size, more complex codec. It all adds up….

Other than a faster processor, nothing much will help. FCP processing is not GPU based, so a better GPU won’t help unless you’re doing tonnes of motion work, and I’d get the ATI anyway as you won’t waste a slot.
A big raid will help a little, but as native HDV has small file sizes, that’s not your bottle neck.

“G Map Frames” in standards converter will do exactly what you want, convert 50i into a 50p of twice the length, ie 50% slowdown. Smart de-interlacing looks good too. http://www.nattress.com Email me if you need a demo.

There should be no less native resolution because pixelshift is valid to exten resolution by a factor of about 1.414, which is enough to compensate for the larger pixels.
However, the image should be punchier and more dynamic, and given that the human eye responds to contrast more than resolution, per se, it should look superior. Sounds like a fine compromise to me!

Your 30p is really 60i that looks like 30p. The 30p is effectively embedded in a 60i video stream, and hence you have nothing to worry about.
You can convert progressive video to interlaced, and this is done to restore old TV that only exists as telerecordings, but it is a very specialised and time consuming process, and a process you do not need.

Jan, if the HVX200 had SDI I/O then you could shoot on the Canon, and record over SDI to the DVCproHD codec on the HVX, and onto P2, and not have to lug around a $20k+ DVCproHD deck around with you 🙂 🙂 🙂
Sorry, couldn’t resist that little joke.
