How are you viewing that exported file? IN QT? It’s highly inaccurate…wrong, busted. Use VLC player, see what it shows.

The HDV format was pretty much…90% of the time…1080i60. 29.97fps. RARELY did you have a camera that would be able to shoot 23.98…it would be recorded at 1080i60, and you’d have to use a trick to get that extracted. But must cameras were 1080i60 (1080i 29.97)…so use that.

In FCP, did you choose the Easy Setup of HDV? And how are you connecting the camera to the computer? Those cameras want to be connected via Firewire 400. Might I assume you have a newer computer that lacks this old old connection type? Because adapters typically don’t work for things like this…converting FW400 to FW800 has worked for many, but to Thunderbolt or USB3..no, it doesn’t work. So it won’t be the OS, but rather the connection.

Well, you can’t just take your 4:3 rectangular pixel video and make it 16:9 square and have it look right. This is something you’ll need to fix on the timeline. You’ll have to choose an Easy Setup that is ProRes 720p, 29.97. Copy and Paste your sequence into this…and then manually fix every shot. OR…fix one, and then copy and paste the attributes to the others.

I’m here to give completely useless advice and wag my finger…but this is why you ALWAYS slate when recording second system audio. I know it’s not on you, but it is on production. While you mire through this, you might want to mention that fact to them…taking a few seconds to do that, saves HOURS in post trying to fix it.

Your sequence is set to full frame SD. Best export option would be straight up FILE>EXPORT>QT MOVIE…check MAKE SELF CONTAINED. This will export a QT movie with the dimensions of the sequence, and should be what you are seeing when you edit. If you try to export HD…that’s blowing up the sequence, and stretching it out to 16:9…when it’s a 4:3 sequence

OK, are you looking at TIMECODE, or FRAMES? You can set the timecode viewer to show frames, instead of timecode. Just making sure you are doing that. Because when you do that, the first frame should default start at 1. Timecode will always start at 00 for imported stills or graphics.

I’ve seen the “read only sequence” error…not a “read only footage.” That’s a new one…

All of those destroy any metadata linking the low res to the full res…other than clip name (if you remove the extension all those add) and timecode (if it starts at 00:00:00:00). Yeah, that’s not the way to make low res proxies for editing…sorry
