Editing D90 footage

I'm having no problems with an avid 23.976 sequence. Just long import times, as with any avi or qt file.

Final Cut is easiest. Just drag a clip into workspace and FC will ask if you want it to create a sequence with settings same as clip.

Premiere wont play real time without rendering, dag-nabbit. Stoiqa - hats off for figuring that workflow, but having to cook the media before you can edit seems to defeat the purpose of the camera to begin with -- e.g. making life easier...

I have a Quad with 4gb of ram...plays just fine without rendering....you can reduce the preview at 50% and work it that way.
 
I've had some problems with Premiere Pro CS3, but my 2.4ghz CoreDuo 2gb Xp Pro plays almost real time. Rather my issue has been random crashes, mostly while scrubbing the play head, but also sometimes while doing a roll edit or even exporting. I think this might be related to my use of ffdshow as a codec pack, with that providing the mjpeg codec... also I formerly had a trial of Morgan MJPEG installed which I had needed to uninstall since the trial expired.

Is it just me with these issues? What are people using for a MJPEG codec? The included one on the Nikon disc? I haven't tried that yet, too busy atm.

And, stupid question, is the D90 really 24fps rather than 23.976fps? If so, any suggestions for dealing with both in the same timeline?

No crashes here whatsoever,and no extra codecs installed.Try uninstalling those...should handle mjpg just fine.

I'd batch process the files out of FCP to a nice lean codec like DVCproHD edit the sequence to how you want it... then reconnect to the original footage, then output uncompressed for the best/easiest solution. I'm sure Apple will have an update with AVI jpeg codec if someone asks them.

As a rule of thumb though... always change your sequence to uncompressed and rerender before your deliver (for your graphics sake).
 
You Premiere Pro guys... what is your sequence settings? Even in custom settings, I can only find options for DV/24frame of P2.

thanks
 
I have premier CS3 on a mac and premier tells me that the D90 AVI files are unsupported. What am I doing wrong?
 
When I drag a clip to a sequence it is not asking me to correct the sequence settings based on the clip in FCP.

Is there something I'm missing? I've used this method before. I have had little luck in getting my D90 footage to play nice with FCP. I haven't tried 'Uncompressed' as an Easy Setup... have tried DVCPRO HD 720p 23.976, I have to render, and I thought it was possible to edit at true 24p?

You can make a custom one, and in "Desktop" editing mode you can set 24fps.

I'm mixing my D90 footage with footage from my HV20, so I'm just doing everything at 23.976. If I need to cut out a frame every 41.66 seconds to keep sound sync, at least its in a frame accurate codec...
 
On 720p,only options you have is 23.97,25p and 29.97fps

Use PPro because i like AE integration.
