FM vs 24p
 

Here's a link to my tech story on this subject. It will answer your questions.

You are misreading the 3000 brochure I believe and looking at the still picture specs.

Bill, regarding film's 24P playback on the big screen, " If you ask the average movie goer what they see, they don't know the difference."

Sorry, but this is incorrect. Each frame is repeated twice, so the "movie goer" actually sees 48fps.

<< Each frame is repeated twice >>

Well, it might be a little more accurate to say that each frame is *shown* twice, due to the spinning shutter blade in a standard 35mm motion picture film projector.

How to edit 24P on my Mac
 

Hello, erveyone, I usually edit movie use Apple Finial Cut pro on my Macintosh, and I bought a new camcorder - DVX100, but I don't know how to setup capture configration? coz that's first I use 24P camcorder. THX very much!

The search function in the upper right corner is invaluable in obtaining quick answers to topics. Many topics have been discussed in the past. This thread in the Mac editing forum discuss the process and links to in depth discussions.

That's good idea... Thanks for your help!

Editing on 24P
 

Rocky if you want to actually edit in 24P, you need to get additional software. Apple Cinema Tools is excellent, but it cost about $1,000, the next best thing is to get DV Film's software. It cost about $100. Check them out at dvfilm.com

Yes, I got Apple Cinema Tools, very cool! but encoding here and encoding there, too trouble! :-( I hope include the great function in future FCP version.

A possible 24p Editor
 

Canopus has just released info on it\'s next Editor due for release in May. I\'m posting this here because in the "Edius" specs I saw this bit:

"The engine operation is resolution independent and frame rate independent so future support of all video and audio formats is possible."


More can be found at:

I didn\'t see that bit before; that\'s great.

Now all we need to do is wait for Canopus\'s HD hardware card.

Bars in 24p mode
 

ANyone have any idea why you can\'t lay bars down while you\'re in 24p? Just noticed that... bizarre.

Why would you need SMPTE NTSC color bars when you\'re going to film?

Editing @ 24
 

Avid has announced support for 24p editing using this \'advanced pulldown\' pattern in a soon-to-be-released version of XpressDV. Plus they\'ve dropped prices onXPDV...Avid\'s been doing 24p the longest, something to think about! That editing product is available cross-platform, too, OSX and XP.

How to display native 24P on NTSC monitor during editing?
 

I think my subject asks the question we all want to know.....

24p on client monitor
 

Not really sure - I\'ll venture a guess it\'s something along the lines of how they\'ve been doing for years with FilmComposer, but as far as specifics, I couldn\'t tell you.
