Feature Shot 720pN - Imported before FCP 5.1.1

[scarfhead]

I just shot a feature called HE'S SUCH A GIRL on a pair of HVX200's at 720pN. We started in March and had a 35 day shooting schedule. There is a lot of footage. Unfortunately, all of it was imported to FCP before we upgraded to 5.1.1.

Do I need to re-import all of this raw footage??? Good god. Please tell me I don't! :eek:

Final Cut Pro 5.1.1 resolves an issue in using the Import Panasonic P2 feature with
720p/24PN footage resulting in duplicate frames in rendered sequences.


So you'll want to scour this forum and Google for people that did face that issue and see if anyone found a non-re-import solution. But the general advice I've personally seen on the topic has been 're-import the footage with 5.1.1.'

cheers.
