Capturing XL2 Footage with a different camera
Hi,
I'm getting an XL2 in the next month or so, and I was planning on using and old Sharp something or other to capture footage, so as not to put unnecessary wear on the XL2 heads. My question is this: if I shoot in 24P, or 16:9, will it still import the same into Final Cut? I would assume that these two things would in theory be written to the tape when you record, so that it would work if one had a deck to import, or a cheapo camera... Any help would be appreciated. Cannot wait for my XL2, and I would just like to say that I love this board, and it was one of THE deciding factors in choosing the XL2. Well, that, and finally getting to actually handle the camera today. |

I am also interested in this question, as I encountered just this situation today on a raw viewing, and have no idea on the outcome once I hit the NLE's.
Best regards, Christian |

Capturing from any dv device will deliver the same results since it is just binary data being transfered. Beware however that I have been using my Panasonic PVDV900 camera for transferring and I get "digital glitches" or "dropout" sometimes. I originally was afraid that it was my XL2 but I have checked the tapes and they do not "glitch" at the points that they do on the captured footage. I am thinking it is time for a new deck/camera to avoid this issue.
So as long as the playback deck is functioning properly everything will transfer just as it would from the XL2 itself. Good Luck |

I've been very happily recording 25p direct to disk with DV Rack and it comes into FCP 4.1 without any problems at all.

I've been capturing using a Canon ZR80 w/ Premiere Pro 1.5 and have had no problems.
