Hey all, Sorry if this topic has been posted before but I don't have time to search through all the threads.
I am working on a documentary that I have been shooting with the DVX in 24pA mode (letterbox) with a 23.98 timebase in FCP. Tomorrow, I am shooting some aerial footage with the HVX and I need to know what the best frame rate to use. 720p/24PN, 720p/24P. I know that I will get more minutes out of the P2 if I use 24PN. So I think I am fine with that..
The question and trick here is, once the clips are loaded .mov's in FCP. How do I down convert these clips to match my letterbox SD 24pa footage in my timeline? I've heard there is a way to do it within FCP. I just do not know the way. Can someone be so kind and help me out.
Also, Let me know what frame rate you think I should shoot at tomorrow morning to best match the DVX 24pa footage that is already in my sequence.
Thanks to anyone that can provide info on this.
