For those watching this.
Here was the problem. I shot this concert in 24pAdv (23.98) using my DVX100A. I captured all of the show in 24p with Pulldown in FCP5. The mistake came when I didn’t apparently have my Timeline setup in 23.98. By it being 29.97 I was able to go through all of the motions but when it came to actually performing Angle Switching in a Multi-Clip this was a no-go.
Something told me to create a new project and Timeline and this is when I discovered that in the Sequence Item Properties that the Timeline was 29.97. I knew something was going on when I a had to constantly render the timeline when I made any ‘false’ moves. I have actually performed a cut yet but I have been able to switch angles and rehearse the cut.
So, I guess the moral of the story is that your clips, sequence timeline ‘all’ have to match up. There can be no mixed-matching in a multi-clip.

Yes. All of the RT settings are in place.

Yeah. You can go into your Browser Pref’s and set up a download folder, but I can’t get back to just simple downloading to the desktop.

I’ve had my DVX100A for over a year now and have done approx. 95% of my shoots in 24pAdvanced and edited in FCP. FCP has an easy setup that has worked for me that applies the 2;3;3;2 pulldown. If I go back to tape it puts it back. I don’t even think about it anymore. The quality is wonderful and I cansay that I have not regretted purchasing this camera. As a matter of fact, my very first shoot was a two camera run and gun recording of Kool & the Gang in concert [see some jpgs and a brief QT movie at – https://www.lightedpath.tv/pages/3/index.htm ]. Two DVX’s. One on-stage the other at FOH. I ran audio into the camera from the House Mix position. and it turned out great!
I authored a 24p DVD in DVD Studio Pro 3 (I’m now in v4 and Final Cut Studio) and it looked great on a set-top player.
I’ve never used the 24p regular setup in the camera or Final Cut so I can’t tell you what happens on that front, but I’m told that if you’re going out to NTSC tv that’s the way to go. I too, plan to purchase Nattress’ filters. There’s a G-Nicer filter that takes DV’s 4:1:1 chroma and improves it. It uses a proprietary algorithm that he developed. You put it before a chroma key, or on DV footage in an uncompressed 8bit 4:2:2 or whatever timeline to improve the chroma. You can read up about it here:

Something that we are preparing for with great excitement is the ability to modify our DVX with the Andromeda/SculptureHD system from Reel-Stream. [see https://www.reel-stream.com/beta ] This will allow us to leap-frog into HD for a total camera cost of around 6k. Their system costs 3k and requires an internal modification of the camera, but judging from the current Beta test I’d prefer this setup to the HVX and the P2 card setup. Imagine 4;4;4; Uncompressed at up to 36bit (which is overkill, but shows the technology). All of sudden, I’d be the owner of a mini-Varicam.
I’d like to hear your comments.

These guys, man. What a concept. They’ll fool around and have to mass produce these setups for some broadcast or production outfit that uses Final Cut Studio. I’d probably spend to much time in the car.

yeah, I’m getting ready to test an HDV cam this weekend and I wanted to see what would happen in that type of scenario.
Thanks for the post.

I’m not sure why this is happening either, but I went to the Apple FCP web page and downloaded the update from there and it took.

Thanks. I will follow this advice. I can capture DVCAM directly from the Z1 if I’m noy mistaken.

I have a question for you since you have a Z1. I have to use one with other cameras (a DVX100A and a JVC DV5000) this weekend in a test situation. It’s unavoidable and I need to formulate a plan for using the cameras together. I was thinking of using the Z1 just straight DV – 4:3, instead of trying to do the HDV thing with the other formats. I really like shooting 23.98 (24p) with the DVX, but am uncertain about the workflow if I incorporate this workflow to include the Sony and JVC. Any ideas, or have you dealt with something like this before and can recommend a direction? It’s a live concert environment.
