Okay, I've had my V1 for a little over a year now, and finally just snagged FCP Studio 2. I've read TONS of different opinions about capture quality, workflows, etc. For those FCP users, let's try and congregate here.
I shoot to tape and then firewire out to an 8-core Xeon Mac. I've been shooting 24P and 30P and simply editing natively in FCP 5 on a 1080i timeline.
I've played around with sharpness and settings and have yet to settle on one precise profile, but enjoy the camera and its many quirks. There are many, MANY questions about the camera and editing its footage out there. Just Google.
I'll be shooting some test footage this weekend and seeing if the camera will FINALLY effectively interface with FCP. It would also be a treat to actually be able to print to video. Supposedly, this will now occur. I'll keep you informed.
So, FCP 6:
With this last update, I can now go to ProRes or ProRes HQ through firewire.
First, what do YOU use to edit? Native, AIC, ProRes or ProRes HQ?
Second, do YOU shoot 24, 24A or 30?
Third, what sequence setting do YOU use in FCP to edit?
Fourth, what do YOU export to?
Last, what's the thing that will save me in a V1 to FCP 6 pipeline that nobody told you...but you'd wish they had?!
Thanks,
