P2 vs FS-100

To clarify the procedure:

1. Shoot 720/60 in the FS-100.
2. Import into a 24p sequence.
3. Use the FRC to convert the 60 clip to a 24 clip, which is essence slowing it down.

Correct?

Thanks

It is not slowing anything down - it is removing duplicate frames.
There is a significant difference between those two.

Think of it in the same way that the DVX adds a pulldown to 24p footage in order to lay 29.97 down to tape - the pulldown can then be removed on capture, leaving you with a 24fps file.

The file is not slowed down - instead, the 'duplicate' frames that the camera lays down in order to keep a 60fps stream coming out of the firewire port are stripped out of the clip, leaving you with the original 24 frames per second that the chips in the camera originally captured.



I'm not sure if I'm clarifying anything - or just confusing the issue here.
Hopefully that made some sense.
:thumbsup:

Not qute.

1- Shoot 720p24, use whatever alternative frame rate you need in the Scene File.
2- Import without using the advanced pulldown removal in the FCP P2 Import window.
3- BEFORE placing in a Seqeuence, use the DVCPRO-HD Frame Rate Converter to conform it to the editing time base of your Sequence.
4- Place in Sequence, it'll give you the over/under cranked effect you shot in-camera.

It's the exact same proceedure for a P2 card as it is for the FS-100.

MXF is just a container format, and the article states that the FS-4 Pro HD supports the DV25 codec in MXF containers.

The FS-4 Pro HD certainly does not support the DVCPro50 or DVCProHD codecs.

Actually that link says nothing about "DVCPRO-HD" nor "P2." The FS-4 will do HDV, but not P2 and not DVCPRO-HD.

It does use the term "[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]FS-4Pro HD", but that's the unit's name, not a recording format.

The top of the page states:

"Weighing about one pound and only 1.5 inches thick, the FS-4 Portable DTE Recorder brings Direct To Edit® Technology to your DV or HDV handheld camcorder."
 
ONLY the FS-100 supports MXF files. ONLY the FS-100 supports DVCPRO-50 or DVCPRO-HD.

The FS-4 is for DV. The FS-4 HD is for DV & HDV.
