Output to DigiBeta

Hi Everyone,

I've got a short sequence (XDCAM EX 1080p 24 VBR). It's on a 23.98 timebase and anamorphic. I've been asked to create a Pro Res file out of this that's "set up for DigiBeta".

How should I set a pro-res file up for output to DigiBeta? And what is the best way to resolve the pull-down issue that will come up?

Thanks so much for any advice you can spare.

I don't know if this helps you, but I just made Digibeta dubs of my short film which was DVCProHD, 23.98, 16:9, 720p. My friend (who runs the post house where I did the dubs) recommended making an HDCam master, then just making Digibeta downconverts from that tape, just leaving FCP out of it completely. He wasn't happy with the results he got trying to deal with HD>SD, 23.98>29.97 direct from a FCP timeline, found this way to be much cleaner and less hassle.

HTH,
JK

In most cases, the capture card (or a HDCAM deck as John K mentioned) will do the down conversion. The capture card can also add a pulldown.
