If I am incorrect, please advise, as they may have corrected it in FCE since I tried last.
Does anyone know if this has been corrected by now? I have FCE HD and thinking of getting the A1, but not if it's not supported.

It's a bummer that FCE doesn't do 24f/25f. Why wouldn't it? I can't plop down the $1,200 for FC Studio right now.

FCE does 25F... We use FCE with the A1 for rough-cuts (in 25F - I don't know about 24F)

Any body else using FC Express and an Canon XH A1 for HDV?
 
Any glitches or quirks, or is it full steam ahead?

I do own FCE (v3.5.1, the latest version) and an XH A1. I can confirm 24p does not work. I do use the 1080i60 settings which work fine with 30p footage. (I don't really understand why, but it does in fact work).
And I'm in the same boat like you - I wish it supported 24f.

EDIT: I assume Alex is using the 1080i50 settings for working with 25f, right? That would be the same like me using 30f in the 60i timeline.

You're absolutely correct. The 1080i50 option treats 25F as if it was 25psf. We haven't had any problems at all, and it looks identical to 25F edited on our FCP system.

25psf?

That sounds great - but what is 25psf?

Did you have any problem connecting the camera to the computer?

Thanks Erik

"psf" means progressive segmented frame... basically it means a progressive image in an interlaced stream.

To all intents-and-purposes it can also be considered progressive.
