HELP???? Capturing 24P & 60i

I'm sorry to have to do this, but I'm really getting desperate with trying to figure out how to capture 24p footage alongside 60i footage.

I posted just two days ago on this subject, and only got one reply and that was at best a guess. My question is really pretty simple. "Has anyone out there captured 24p footage and 60i footage into the same sequence"?

I've captured it, but when I go out to SP3, the 24P footage is awful. It jumps. I was told to capture at 29.97 (BTW, everything is also 16x9 either anamorphic or wide) and then use 29.97 in the browser for the sequence.

It doesn't look that bad on the monitor, but when I go out to Studio Pro 3, I have to select either 24 or 60i and display into 16x9. I can't do both!!!!

If it were just a simple matter of capturing in 24P, that would be easy.

As I mentioned, I really need to have someone who has done this successfully help me through the process. I just refuse to believe that it has to be an either or situation.

In the meantime, if I do happen to find the secret before anyone responds to me, I'll post the formula.

thanks,

eric

I'd love to help, but I don't use FCP. I do, however, see this kind of question A LOT on the boards. I'd recommend you go to a dedicated FCP board somewhere, like 2-pop, and try posting there. I'm sure there are answers out there.

Hi Barry:
First welcome back from (I believe Tennessee). Sorry I missed you at the trade show at WEVA. It was great!!!!
So was Cozymels Mexican Restrauant.

I got a post from Steve Martin at Apple. I guess it's much simpler than I thought. All I have to do with regard to 24P is capture all the footage (both 24P and60I) at 29.97. Do all the editing in FCP. Export through Compressor and set 29.97 settings in that.

Can't wait to tell you the results.

Thanks again Barry.

take care,

eric

Yeah, I'm bummed I missed the WEVA expo, it's usually a pretty good show. I would have liked to see the FireStore FS-4 and the XL2 (assuming they were both there, right?) Let me know next time you're in town and we'll set something up!

As for the FCP solution, that sounds 100% workable. Should solve all your frame rate problems!
