Using an HC-X900M with an AG-AC-130

Technical question for the Panny experts:

I was just given (yes, GIVEN - pretty cool, huh?) a brand new HC-X900M, which I would love to use as a backup/static camera on wedding shoots; and other shoots for that matter. I normally shoot in 1080/30fps
with my AG-AC-130. It appears to me that the X900 can only shoot in 60fps. So my question is, what's the best way to use footage from both of these cameras together? Do I convert the X900 footage in post, or shoot in 60fps on the AC-130? (Editing in FCP 7, transcoding to ProRes, btw...) Obviously I am not familiar with converting frame rates so I am asking a rookie question here about matching up footage in post. Your help is appreciated!!


Ben

Hi Ben,

How easy is it to get the HC-X900M 60P material into FCP 7?

"How easy is it to get the HC-X900M 60P material into FCP 7?"

Quite simple using log and transfer within FCP7 (Apple ProRes 422 Codec)

If you are delivering on DVD then iFrame is 30p and may actually be the most convenient.
