I shot a project using 24P standard. I am looking to mix in other formats (VHS,MPG, Digital 8, Etc) when I edit this down In FCP. I am currently using FCP 6.0.2 on a MacBook Pro 2.4 GHZ Inetel Core. I may have messed on the capture settings. I thought I went through the easy setup, but I'm looking in the browser at the captured clips and it shows me that the "Vid Rate" is at 29.97. I have Noah's DVD and he mentions that you should go through the easy setup options and select "DV-NTSC 24P (23:98)". He also mentions that you should set the Sequence settings to "DV NTSC 48 KHZ - 23.98". Now is this okay? I would like to mix in other formants onto the sequence. Do I have the change the capture settings as well as the sequence settings when using a non 24P file?
I think I might just be getting a little confused. Noah mentions that you can go ahead and edit everything on a 29:97 timeline. And if I did capture my clips the wrong way is there a way to go back and fix it without having to recapture? All in all the clips look fine when played down.
Any help would be appreciated.
