Ok, now that the whole 20 frames 40 frames issue is clear, can I make the FCP timeline give me 40 frames per foot display on the timeline? or 20 frames per keycode? or any kind of 16mm related reading?

I can only get it to display 16 frames per foot which is for 35mm.

Thanks,

You are right. There is 40 frames per foot in 16mm at 24 fps. But when I did the setup in Cinema Tools and FCP the only options I get is for 16mm 20 (i’m not sure how is this related).

But it makes sense with the keycodes, they advance one foot every 20 frames. After 0000+19 it goes to 0001+00. But the feet & frames counter in the FCP timeline goes 0000+15 and the next number is 0001+00, which is ok for 35mm but not for 16mm in relation to the keycodes.

Does this makes any sense to anyone?

If you want to do a negative cut you have to edit at 24 fps. If you edit at 29.97 and export a “cut list” from the file menu in FCP, some of the edits are going to be + or – 1 frame, since at 29.97 you might be cutting in frames that are between two frames of the original 24.

Also, FCP outputs a 3:2 pull down from the timeline that you should be able to see through firewire in real time. Check your settings under the sequence menu, go to settings and check that you have the 2:3:2:3 option. This has been working for me with no problems.

It looks great!!! But $25k is way out of my budget!!! I need something I can afford.

[mishka] “SD2 is not the native ProTools format since version 5.something. All computer LCD monitors are 60 Hz.”

I think only PC guys are using BWF, Mac people are still using SD2 as far as I know (but that’s not too far…).

I don’t think that ALL LCDs are 60 Hz. Check the specs at the end of this page https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824006067

Am I reading something wrong? It seems like it can do horizontal refresh of 48 Hz to me.

[mishka] “Getting 2k preview out of FCP is one story. Working with 2k dpx in FCP is another. FCP drops to 8 bit per channel when video is RGB. Even if that was not the case FCP tools like 3-way CC are too coarse for anything beyond broadcast video.”

I’m guessing that FCP would be able to handle 10 bit RGB by the time the Multibridge comes out, otherwise there is no point in Blackmagic offering that, right?

3-way CC might not be the best for 2k, but it’s a cheap alternative (as long as it works in RGB 10 bit).

Thanks so much Mishka! I have some additional questions for you:

>1)_ Am I missing something? am I doing something wrong?

>Your workflow is based on FCP 4 feature set. FCP 4.5 and FCP 5 added a couple of film/PAL-
>specific things.

What specific features are you referring to? How should I correct my workflow?

>6)_ Should I digitize the DATs on a ProTools (since I can), and then import to FCP the AIFF to
>sync them up? Then when I export the OMF back to the ProTools we don
