Hi Jerry,
No can’t recapture as I just have quicktime files – no tape, and also I don’t have a capture card. Everything is at 25 fps.

Thanks for that Rory. By the way, no I’m not from Australia – I’m from London, UK!

That is brilliant Dylan, and very helpful – thinking HDX900 is the way to go. I really appreciate your advice!

Thanks a lot for your help Jeremy – much appreciated. Is the footage online anywhere to view?

Many thanks Michael and Carsten for your advice. To boil it down, I guess the overall answer is ‘no’ I cannot capture at 25p without additional hardware – either the Blackmagic or Kona card (according to the article), or Panasonic frame convertor. (So more money for more kit needed!)
As far as the 900 not doing variable speeds – I realise it doesn’t have the flexibility of the varicam but If I simply wish to get a good slomo, I assume I can easily shoot 50fps or possibly 60fps and convert to 25 using FCP frame convertor?
Overall I agree – some test shoots are needed!

Thanks for the info – I guess I have a potential nightmare on my hands! Any thoughts as to whether shooting on the hdx900 would help my chances of cutting in 25fps?
