editing and working on dvcpro hd 720p50 footage

Hi guys,

I've some footage that's shot on dvcpro hd 720p50. Do i need to install final cut 6 to be able to work natively in that?

There is no preset in FCP 6 for 720p/50 if I recall. Might look at Raylight. Download the demo

There is another work around. Oh yeah. HDLog works with 720p/ 25 & 50 HD, then export to FCP XML and it creates QT clips ready to edit.

If you import it into FCP6, FCP gives you a 720p50 timeline compressor setting. Works fine here, and we've been using it a lot lately with HVX200 footage with very respectable results. Especially so if you're going to DVD as it scales down very well and without a lot of gamma shift. Depends what you're delivering of course, but if it's this kind of workflow, it's well worth the upgrade to 6.

Lol. Was initially mistaken about the "p50" tag... Thought it would've meant 50fps.... Guess it's the same as dvcpro25 & 50? Where the p50 is named because it's progressive 50mbits/sec?
