Captured with 1080pA24 the quick time shows 3 clean frames followed by the 2 interlaced frames same when capturing with 1080i60, when going through compressor using DVCPRO HD 1080i60 and viewing the quick time i get 4 clean frames then a duplicate of the fourth. In the future we’ll be shooting 1080 24pA, this was just some test footage but it wasn’t till today I got the word we changed from 24p to 24pA. Using the 1080pA24 capture setting in the future will give me a vid rate of 23.98 correct? for the test footage how do i get rid of those 2 interlaced frames?

Okay so i can still capture via firewire, but if i want the video to play out in sync with FCP i need to hook the monitor to the card is what your saying and if i want to edit to tape i’ll need the card anyway

Can I view the footage through the deck (Panasonic AJ-HD1400) hooked up to an HD monitor?

Thank you, my footage is capturable via firewire, so I’m going to leave the capture card out of this set up

How important is the capture card. Can i get buy without it? As a starting point I was looking into a Refurbished Mac Pro 2.66GHz 8-Core Intel Xeon.
comes with:
Two 2.66GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon “Nehalem” processors
6GB (6x1GB) of 1066MHz DDR3 ECC memory
640GB Serial ATA 3Gb/s 7200 rpm
NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 with 512MB GDDR3 memoryThen just adding more ram later, we’re going to go with some sort or raid tower that has 12 to 16tb of storage but still shopping around to find a nice deal, same goes for the monitors.

Hey Alex,
The budget is reasonable, we have a big enough budget to get a nice editing set up. Renting a suite would be a good idea i think but we’re kind of located in an isolated area so the editing suite would be 70 miles or so away from the office. Thanks for all of that info, i’m definitely going to check all that out. I’m almost positive we’ll be getting the fastest Mac Pro we can find. As for storage, definitely going external, i was originally thinking of some 1TB G-Raids? I’m just trying to get a feel for the pricing and exactly what we’ll need, for sound i don’t think we’ll be getting a mixer. I tried to push the P2! but i think the rest of the team feels more comfortable with the DVCpro tapes, i’d love to work with P2 instead but it’s not my call, unfortunately, but i want to thank you again Alex and Kent, this information is going to be invaluable for me, i really appreciate your help even though the question is asked so often.

I don’t mind being corrected, if you hadn’t pointed it out i would have never realized i made a mistake.

Thank You Walter, What happens if i have the documents on my desktop and i drag and drop them into my project which is saved on my media drive? Will it just mean that i wont be able to use the pdf’s unless i’m using the desktop they came from? Thanks again.

Thank you Lee, That was the problem. I changed the audio settings on the deck and i haven’t had any issues.
