[btorf4] “Has anyone come up with a good work flow with the
V1U at 24p???”Well… that seems to be the question of the moment. This all depends on the majority of your work. Do you work with HDV now? Are you capturing to HDV or DVCProHD?
You can capture and work completely in HDV, if you want. FCP 5.1.2 has the Easy Setup for HDV 1080p24. After this, everything else is easy.

[walter biscardi] “In 1996 we had the largest Media 100 system in the world with a whopping 40GB of storage. Media 100 would have potential customers call us to confirm that we had “all of that storage” and “what are you doing with all of that?””
LOL…! We had the same system and the same thing happened to us!
I can remember my family’s computer in 1986 being a Compaq 286 with 4 meg of RAM and 20 meg hard drive. WOW!

[Dave Jenkins] “Get the AJA LHe card and it will down-convert for you on the way out to the Digibeta deck through component.”
Dave is right, Per. Personally I would suggest yo purchase an AJA LHe card or get a F70 deck. With the F70 deck you can down-convert on the fly with it, so you can digitize your footage thru your IO just fine. BUT, if you are shooting in HD already, pretty soon, someone is going to want an HD master. With that, you’ll have to use something like the AJA LHe to output your timelines.
Its amazing how many post houses or dub houses do not have XDCAM HD even though it is really taking off as an accepted format. I have my XDHD masters but no way to output them to HDCAM or DVCProHD yet. But I do know people who have these decks and I can take my F70 deck to them and make my dubs. Another advantage of having a deck.

Do you not have an F70 deck?
If so, it will downconvert for you properly. If not, your best bet is to use Compressor to properly convert it for you BUT at the cost of added time for the conversion.
Here’s another question… What video capture card do you have? They will downconvert your video on the fly, too.
What are your timeline settings when editing in XDCAM HD? Are you using the XDCAM HD settings that Sony has written for us?

[Shane Ross] “Since DVCPRO HD 720p is Non-Drop frame, and you will need to deliver a drop frame Digibeta, you need to adjust your timing to match the DROP FRAME master. I go into a bit of detail on how I did it here:
” target=”_blank”>https://lfhd.blogspot.com/2006/09/online-workflow-overview.html”
Ok… I read it and it sounds plauseable…. BUT how do you convert your footage that is drop frame into non-drop frame? FCP will not let you drop a clip with drop frame timecode on a non-drop timeline. I am still missing this part. This has been an issue that I have dealt with. My only solution was to batch recompress all of the footage into DVCProHD 720 24p. I have only done this ONCE so if its wrong…. forgive me. I’m still learning this HD thing.

They are the best in the world!
That’s why I will always use AJA products, even if a competitor has something better!

[Dave Hardy] “My expectation is that the rumored Final Cut Extreme will appear instead at a professional price of lets say $4995 with a $1000 crossgrade discount for existing FCP users until Dec. 31 2007. After this date it would be a $99 upgrade to FCP Studio 2 (no manuals of course).”
HEHEHEHEHE! I love it! It would be nice BUT I don’t think it will be this easy. Something tells me it will be half price but not for $1000…
