Set the REC FORMAT P2 to the desired DVCPRO format and resolution. (PN modes are not supported).
Actually, there is a software upgrade for the FS-100 that adds support for PN modes. It’s like $30-$40 or so.

Scenario #1: According to the manual, 4 red lights flashing, in addition to the error light on the front of the unit flashing (5 lights total), means “The voltage is abnormally low.” Putting a fresh battery in should take care of the problem.
Scenario #2: If the error light on the front of the unit is solid, and the 4 lights on top are flashing, the manual says “After an internal error occurred, copying and formatting is not possible.” You’ll need to contact the place you purchased your unit from and hopefully they’ll be able to replace or repair it.
Good Luck!

[izoneguy] “Do you use the easy set-up for 720 30p???
Make sure you keep the framerate at 29.97…
Is it possible you are dropping frames?
What is your harddrive set-up?”The problem does not lie in the settings in FCP or hardware performance issues. The problem with the footage is that it was done with the “Import P2” feature in FCP BEFORE version 5.1.2, which seemed to fix the problem. I use the easy set-up “720p30” although I don’t believe it has anything to do with that.
Thanks again,

There appears to be a bad stagger/jitter in the playback. It’s not smooth at all. I suppose it’s entirely possible that it isn’t the pulldown that’s the problem, but something completely different. Even still, I can’t figure it out. Any ideas?
-
It was not 720p24PN. It was 720p24. But on a sidenote, is that what the 24PN is for? Never quite understood that.

This project was shot at 720p24 and I want to edit at 30fps.
Thanks in advance.

[Jim Calahan] “you needed to re import the P2 files and relink to get the pulldown right.”
Do you know if there is a way to fix the pulldown issue on already converted QT files instead of re-importing all the P2 cards?
Thanks,
Tyler
