Thanks Boris,

So, I take it that FCP will update the project file to an fcp 6 format.

I’ve got several in-progress projects (5.0.4) that have un-comp 10 bit HD footage with
imported overlay graphics and titles created in fcp. I’ve used the 3-way color corrector and
several of “Joe’s Filters” on the sequnces in question…..

Do you think that all of that will “make it” through when fcp updates the project file ?

(I’m assuming that I’ll probably have to re-render everything)

Yep, that’s how I told them to shoot it in the first place….but the client had other ideas.
Now that they’ve figured it out, I’m being called on to rescue them…….

thanks for the input…

Hi Tony,

No, we shot it in 4:2:2 and recorded to HDCAM with a client-supplied deck (HDW-250)
which only does 59.94i. Now we’re re-purposing the tapes and want to convert the whole batch
to 24p. Would the Terranex give really good results ? I’m still concerned about de-interlacing
issues.

Thanks Steve,

Well Cinema Tools will do reverse telecine, but that only helps if you’re dealing with 59.94i
HD that contains film footage that was telecined and had 3:2 pulldown added. It won’t really
convert 59.94i originated material to 24P. I have about 22 hours of material to convert, so doing it
through software conversion would take forever anyway….

I guess I should have said “Does anyone have any suggestions for real-time hardware based
solutions for converting 59.94i HDCAM footage to 23.98P HDCAM footage”…..but I wasn’t thinking.

Any takers ???
