Workflow with HVX200 using 1080/24p in FCP

What is the exact workflow to ingest 1080/24p footage shot on the AG-HVX200P into Final Cut 5.1.4, and watch the footage in 24p?

It seems like a simple question, but I've had a hard time getting an exact answer and all the literature provided by Apple and Panasonic leaves me with a stuttering image.

Whoever is kind enough to answer, would you please be ultra-detailed in the steps required?

I greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

Yes, I have, and that document says that capture/ingest for 1080/24p is not supported at this time. Is this still true? I thought this was an older document and things have since changed due to FCP updates. If not, is there another solution?

There is a 1080/24p preset for DVCProHD in Final Cut Pro 6.

"Step 1: Shoot with advanced pull-down (23.98 fps at 29.97 fps)
Choose the 1080i/24PA recording mode on your camera. This creates 29.97 fps 1080i video that contains 23.98 fps progressive frames using a 2:3:3:2 pull-down pattern.

Step 2: Remove 2:3:3:2 advanced pull-down from 24p video during capture
Choose the DVCPRO HD 1080pA24 Easy Setup, which enables the Remove Advanced
Pulldown and/or Duplicate Frames During Capture From FireWire Sources option.
Duplicate video fields are discarded during capture, resulting in a 24p (23.98 fps) media file on disk after capture.

Note: You can also remove advanced pull-down while ingesting 1080pA24 or 480pA24 footage recorded on P2 cards. For more information, see “Setting Log and Transfer Preferences” on page 96.

If you have already captured your video at 29.97 fps, you can remove duplicate fields
from your media files after capture.

To remove 2:3:3:2 advanced pull-down from your media files after capture:
m Select the 29.97 fps clips in the Browser, then choose Tools > Remove Advanced Pulldown.

Your media files will remain the same size, but they will be set to play back at 23.98 fps. If no advanced pull-down flags are detected, the media files remain at 29.97 fps.
Step 3: Edit at 23.98 fps

You can edit your footage in a 23.98 fps sequence. To preview your video on an
external monitor while you are editing, you can choose one of several pull-down
options to convert the 23.98 fps video to 29.97 fps. The 2:2:2:4 option is the least
processor-intensive, but it should be used only for previewing.

For more information about real-time pull-down options, see the Final Cut Pro 6
User Manual, Volume IV, Appendix C, “Working with 24p Video.”
Step 4: Output back to 1080i60 video with advanced pull-down

After you finish editing your movie, you can output back to 1080i60 video by
introducing a pull-down pattern on the FireWire output. You can choose one of several pull-down patterns, either from the RT pop-up menu in the Timeline or in the Playback Control tab of the System Settings window. For output back to tape, you should choose advanced pull-down (2:3:3:2) or normal telecine pull-down (2:3:2:3).

You can also export your movie to a 23.98 fps QuickTime movie or image sequence for delivery to a video-to-film transfer lab."

Thank you, and please stick with me, but what I've shot my movie in is not 1080i24PA, but 1080i24p. I didn't shoot in the advanced format. This is the dilemma, because all the literature talks about the advanced format, but not 1080i24p.

Do you know the workflow for this format?

Thanks,
Joseph Campo
