No response? Seriously – I should know if I’m wrong.

“30f, 24f, 60i…all run at 29.97. They just have different looks. But all run at 30fps.”
Not true on the XHA1 and not on the HV40 either. The XHA1, when shot at 24f, is reported by FCP to be 23.98 fps / HDV 1080p24. It does not play nice with the HV30 which records 24F HDV as 29.97 fps / 60i. That is why the HV40’s could be called an upgrade – because its main new feature was native 24 fps just like the XHA1.
“From Wikipedia: In 2009 Canon announced the Canon HV40 which is identical to HV30 except it is now capable for native progressive 24p recording without applying 3:2 pulldown (thus without encoding it into a 1080i/30 stream.)”
I’m just using that situation to get the point across that all 24 fps HDV isn’t equal. Some is wrapped in a 60i wrapper and some is not. The XHA1 records 24F which for every practical editing purpose in FCP means 24p. So for Jon’s situation he absolutely has to do some transcoding if he doesn’t want to deal with cadence issues on his timeline – either up from 24p to 30p with the one A1 angle or down from 60i to 24p with the other two cameras. The latter is more preferable, I’d guess. In my own situation with A1’s and HV30’s after every event I have to transcode everything to ProRes 422 (LT) so multicam will work…

Hi Lance!
Still ranting I see – always good points though. Can’t believe its been 10 years since our days on 2-Pop.com.

Ditto. Export as H.264 and relabel the file as .flv as Johnny says. Works with Flash Player version 9 which is very widespread.

“So what about the apple script “FCP dupe”. Which lets you open multiple copies of FCP on a single machine? ”
I’ve been doing that with a terminal command after watching ProMax do demonstration of multiple instances of FCP at a product demo. It works for other apps too by changing the command. Or by duplicating the application I can run as many instances of Toast as I want and send the results to different burners. Not sure how EULA applies in these situations.

Beating dead horse…
Not according to the EULA. I’m supposedly not even allowed to load it on two laptops.
-
In my case on two laptops the EULA does not allow two installations – only a desktop and a laptop. So no matter how I choose to operate I’m arbitrarily restricted from operating within the guidelines. That is my point. I will state publicly that I have FSC loaded on two laptops and feel I’m ethically within the realm of Apple’s anti-piracy goals. I wouldn’t be surprised if this allowance changes, either by a wording adjustment specifying two computers rather than making the platform distinction or by restricting the use of a license to strictly one machine only.

According to the Apple Final Cut Studio Software License Agreement:
2. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions
A. Apple Software (Bundle)
This License allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on one Apple-labeled desktop computer and one Apple-labeled laptop computer so long as both computers are owned and used by you.And if you work on two laptops? Arbitrarily denied.

Ron,
While I understand the concept of buying a license for each editing station it just doesn’t make sense for one-man shops like mine. I’m sitting here working with two macbook pro’s (necessary for my on-site editing projects) and have them both working on different aspects of the same production, alone. One owner, one editor. But I’m forced to either disconnect from the network or buy a completely redundant copy of identical software.
Paying FCP user since ver. 1.0….

Hi Gerrit,
For fast turn-around same-day edits I’ve been projecting out of FCP with a DVI cable to an HD projector using Cinema Desktop Preview mode. The projector is recognized by FCP as a second monitor and playback can be from the viewer or canvas.
