Okay, here's my problem. I'm editing a short film shot on both the XH-A1 and the HVX200.
The HVX was used solely for slow motion footage. Not my camera so I didn't import the footage from the P2 Card.
I was sent the files in quicktime . mov format. I open them in quicktime and they have a frame rate of 24 fps and they play at 24fps... so immediately I think something is amiss.
I import them into FCP6 and double click on them to open them in the viewer. I haven't put them on the timeline yet. I hit play and the time base looks as if it's playing at 60fps. the motion isn't slowed down but the frame counter at the end of the timecode is obviously 60fps.
I pause the clip and start to frame advance the footage one frame at a time. Uh oh... something isn't right here. Instead of frames going in succession like so:
1,2,3,4,5
They are skipping like so:
1,3,6,8,11
Am I doing something wrong. Can I get 60 fps out of these clips, or did something go wrong when these were extracted from the P2 card?
Help...
