I'm stumped about a problem I'm having with the Panasonic HMC 150's 1080i60 files and Final Cut Pro 7. I shot the video in the camera's PH mode and used log and transfer to transcode to ProRes 422 LT in FCP.
However, when I look at the transcoded files in the viewer or the canvas, the video looks more like 30p--not like "live" 60i video. When I playback the raw AVCHD files in the camera, they look fine.
If I change the sequence setting's frame rate from 29.97 to 59.94, then the video seems to look right, but FCP says that rate does not match the clip's frame rate and everything has to be rendered.
To make matters more confusing, my "B" camera (a Sanyo HD1010) also recorded video in 1080i60 -- but FCP "sees" that video as 59.94 fps, after transcoding to ProRes 422 LT in Compressor. As a result, I cannot make a multiclip because the frame-rates don't match.
I have an iMac, early '08, 4 gb of RAM, 3.06 ghz, and am using an external Seagate 1.5 TB (firewire 800) as my media drive.
What am I doing wrong?
