Hey guys

A guy I work for just picked up two JVC HD cameras - It is my understanding the FCP still does NOT support 24P capture? Is this still true? And if so, what is the logical solution to the problem? Switch editing platforms? Ideally he would still like to edit in FCP so if there is a way to capture in AVID and transfer the scratch files to FCP that would be brilliant..

thanks..
 
Avid doesn't support it either, does it?

With FCP you have to use Lumiere, IINM. That's an add-on third party software program that makes 24p files that are compatible with FCP.
 
Here is the best workaround currently (and free):

- Download DVHSCap and MPEG STREAMCLIP.
- Use DVHSCap (or a firestore) and capture the .m2t file.
- Open the file in MPEG STREAMCLIP.
- Select either HDV 30 or AIC for the codec.
- Bring the Quality Slider to Best.
- Deselest the De-interlace check boxes.
- In the Frame Rate Box, enter 23.976.

In FCP use whichever Presest for AIC 30 or HDV 30 (depending on what you choose).

In the Sequence settings (Command 0), put the editing timebase to 23.98.

This seems like a long workaround but it is rather quick. The only time consuming thing is the conversion. You can also Batch Convert in MPEG STREAMCLIP.
