thanks for the responses.

rotating 90 degrees will mean the clip will be on its side? i don’t really want that!

is there a ‘keep aspect ratio’ option in compressor? i just leave it as ‘100% of source’… which does’t work. It just squeezes it to fill out the whole frame in fcp…

I’ve just realised that I have been a bit of an idiot and did not realise that I had to switch the camera from NTSC to PAL in order for the 25fps setting to appear.

So would I be best off shooting the T2i in 25fps with the Z1 in 50i?

Or would I better off shooting the T2i in 50fps (1280×720) and the Z1 in standard definition (DVCAM) at 50i? Would this be a better option for videos that I don’t need to be full HD?

Cheers

Thanks Shane. As you can tell I am a little clueless when it comes the technical side of things.

My t2i was bought from Hong Kong and i dont know if it is PAL or NTSC, but it doesn’t shoot 25fps. It shoots 24fps, 60fps & 30fps.

My Z1e (which is secondhand and was originally bought new in the US), only shoots 50i & 60i.

What do you think would be the best set-up for both cameras? Is my current workflow the best I can do?

Cheers for the advice Rob. Unfortunately I don’t think a Z1 & a t2i can shoot in the same frame rate? Am I wrong about that? The t2i shoots progressive… The Z1 is interlaced

Hi Satish,

I have been having the exact same problem as everyone else- when I try and do a L&T I get the error message about it having an ‘invalid directory structure’

I am going to try using Toast Titanium aswell. what do you convert them too exactly?

Thanks

Thanks Tom. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem you can alter those settings on my AVCHD camera so I guess the only way to do it will be to slightly squash the footage..

Yes sorry I meant to say HDV

Will it be fairly simple to convert the files from my HDD cameras, to the same codec etc as the HDV files?

Thanks for the response
