Thank you both for forcing me to dig deeper into my camera. I confess laziness too often thanks to the availability of info on the internet.

Male_man I did indeed finally find that menu item you...

I was just running a test on my 250 with a shotgun mic that had been giving me problems. I was shooting scenes with the MIC GAIN in various combinations. When I imported the test clips into FCPX I...

Well alrighty then. I've officially lost my mind. They better take this camera away before I hurt myself.

Wow. Okay..I must be tripping then. I mean I have this clear memory (well, not so clear apparently) of the indication "Zebra1" or "Zebra2" or "Zebra Off" as you continue to press the cameras zebra...

Oh boy. Well I just struggled to Write a reply on this stupid iPad only to have the whole thing lost when I hit "post" I can't possibly recreate it. Suffice to say you need to reread my original...

Something odd has happened with my brand new 250. I turned it on today to check some settings before leaving on a shoot and the zebra button seems to be on the fritz. It is only toggling between...

RIght on. Thanks.

BTW any idea why the charge time on those batteries would run out so quickly? They are about 7 years old and haven't been used lately. Could they have lost their will to live?

I have a couple of old DVXuser Li-ion batteries from my old DVX100 which physically fit my new HPX250 (I made sure with the charging base before attempting attachment to the camera) but I tried one...

Okay, I'm stupid.

I'm trying out this "FOCUS in RED" on my new 250 and I dunno. What am I doing wrong? All I'm getting is a red border around the viewfinder. It's there if things are in focus,...

As a last gasp before we finally jump into HD, we have been messing around with the DVX's squeeze feature in obtaining a 16:9 format. For whatever reason we hadn't until now. The results I'm getting...

My Panasonic AG-DV1000 deck seems to have bitten the dust. I am pretty broke so the cheap camcorder option is looking attractive to me at this point for capturing footage--until more funds become...

Yeah, you'd think with a control so integral to the end result, they would have come up with a paradigm that would be less susceptible to accidental movement. Oh well...I'll look into the Magic...

Thanks Mr. Holck. That pretty much told the tale. Looking at the studio monitor, too, one can see the tell-tale flicker of interlaced frames even more clearly. I checked a clip that I was sure was...

Shot on DVX100a, captured full res via Panasonic DV1000 deck, edited on a Mac G5 2.5 Ghz, OS 10.4.3, FCP 5.

If you'll excuse me, I thought I saw this dealt with on this or some other forum in the past but I am not finding it again.

I am in the middle of an edit that I shot in its entirety at 24; or so I...

I think this is an incredibly valuable thread for anyone unfamiliar with this world; as was I. Is there some way I--or anyone--can archive it for future reference? Ya know for that project a year or...

Well, then this begs another question: does editing on a 29.97 line rule out a DVD should someone say, hey, let's make a DVD out of this?

Or, gods forefend, is there some pulldown thicket one must...

AshG you are a godsend!

Not only did your post more or less vindicate me--and spare me the ignominy of going back to a 23.98 timeline--but I did as your said and changed the sequence's field...

Now wait...before I shoot myself...I just went to :

http://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/24p_in_FCP_nattress.html

Everything talks about (or seems to in my tiny brain) editng on 29.97....

Boy I almost lost my stuff when I read GenJerDan suggest I edit in a 24p timeline. You probably haven't seen my posts in this and other FCP forums around the net in the last week searching for an...

I imagine this may be dealt with in another thread but I have no idea what search parameter I would use, so:

Being new at this 24p world I am in a bit of a quandary regarding what I'm seeing on my...

St. Louis eh. Me too. Downtown.

Yeesh. Cinema Tools is it? I dunno. I've already resigned myself to recapturing everything in 29.97 like it should have been in the first place. I think I've lost...

Right you are. However I sure didn't learn that through FCP documentation. I was only left more confused by that library of books.

I tried that copy and paste thing and, yeah, lot's of mismatched...

After much pain and many hours wasted, I am throwing in the towel and starting over. I had tried creating a clean 29.97 timeline and copy/pasting the edit from the 23.98 sequence onto it. It sort of...
