Hey guys, If someone can, please help me understand this.

FCP supports editing 720p/25?
FCP supports importing 720/25 via Firewire?


FCP supports editing 720p/50?
FCP supports importing 720/50 via Firewire?

FCP 5.1.2 DOES support import of 720p50 material.

You just can't edit in a 50 fps sequence yet.

The framerate converter is still only for 720p60 material, but Cinematools works fine.

I cant get this to work. I use FCP 5.1.2. What settings do I use? Every setting I try, I end up with this feed in the log and capture window:

proximity am I happy you posted that. I was pulling my hair out. I got the same thing I reinstalled final cut studio thinking I'd deleted some files i shouldn't have.
If anybody has any help to offer please do.

Kind regards
THE HONEST LIAR
 
The key word here is importing, not capture :-)

The quote was a reply to some people that stated that only 720p25 was supported in the new import dialog.

We now have the 720p50 codec in place, but both the vdig component, and output component is still missing.

(Not that I don't agree that the situation suck, though)

Does this mean you cannot edit or view DVCPRO HD 720p50 in Final Cut Pro 5 without AJA hardware some other third party soft/hardware?

Is there a way to make it work in Final Cut Pro 5 for say, less than 700 dollars?
 
Of course you can. With P2 there is no need to capture with a video card. Of course you need a video output device for video monitoring but if you're fine to just use the computer monitor than it's for free ...

Btw. the Matrox MXO 2.0 drivers support now 50p output as well.
