Panasonic HMC40 Crashing when injesting HD1080i 60. And What sequence presets?

The Frames per sec. are different with the AVCCAM workflow. I logged and transfered my media, but am unsure what sequence presets I need for new projects?

Example, when I shot in the PH1080 60i. the files were like 2580 X 1080???? And when they played back they were all slow and choppy, something like I had the wrong sequence presets for my project in regard to frame rate. It would even give me a message when I dragged my video down to the timeline that the sequence presets didn't match.

After log and transfer and when you want to start a new project with sequence presets. What should they be for each format in regard to this camera? The difference in Frame rates is now befuddling me. I understand what frame rates mean, but even after conversion these aren't matching the sequences? I read something about trying the prores sequences????

What FCP sequence presets should I use for each of the following, so my frame rates match etc?

PH1080 60i =
PH1080 30p=
PH 1080 24p =
PH 720 60p =
PH 720 30p =
PH 720 24p =
HA 1080 60i =
HG1080 60i =
HE1080 60i=

Hope to hear from ya!

My clip frame sizes are coming in at 2560 X 1080???? What is up with that weird size???? My frame rates now match my sequence presets, but when I want to drag my clip to the timeline it says the presets don't match. Yet, I don't convert it and it seems fine now. Then when I click the clip in the timeline it has it as as the same frame size as the sequence even though I didn't covert it over. Yet, I then try to see what the frame size of the clip is in the browser and it is still huge at 2560 X 1080.

I am totally screwed up with this sequence conversion work flow thing. I am only using a class four card with 4 Gigs, because I first wanted to test it out. Could it also have to do with the quality of my card, why the image was so choppy when I shot in the PH 1080 mode?????

Where are you seeing these sizes? Not using Quicktime are you? Look at what FCP says. Scroll to the right in the Browser, or right-click on the clips and choose ITEM PROPERTIES.

Yes, I am seeing them in item properties.

Trash those and try again. That's really odd. Might trash your FCP preferences while you are at it.
