Hello everyone!

I've been shooting with an HVX200E (PAL). And I chose to shoot in 720p 25p frame rate (not 25pn, which don't know the difference by the way). But whenever y ingest the footage to Final Cut Pro 6.0.4, to my 15" Macbook Pro. I can see the footage and have no problems, but i wonder why it always says the codec is 720 50p ??!?!!

Whenever y lick on items properties on the clips, or when i use P2CMS it says Codec: 720p 50p.

Is that right? wrong? something i must fix? or just something i souldnt pay attention to. Maybe something is badly configured or i need to click something, perhaps im missing out the true potential of 25p footage, or maybe not. guide me please!

Thanx for the help!:thumbsup:

Cheers from Argentina.:beer:
 
That's what happens when you use 25p mode instead of 25pN.

25p gets recorded within a 720/50p file, with each frame duplicated.

25pN stores exactly 25 frames per second.
 
Great!

Any pros & cons between both? I mean what is the difference?
what should i use each one for?

Thanx a lot Barry!

Cheers!
 
I usually do directly to P2, but just in case. Any other advice on why should, or some special case when i should choose one or the other?
