Cool!

Looks like a nice place.

I like that clip a lot, very well shot.

Barron,

Do you mean to tell me that you shot HDV 24 fps with the FX1000, then you imported the video using Vegas 8.0c onto a 24p timeline...

And

the clips show up as 24p? I'm just curious because I'm looking to get an FX1000 and this sounds great.

Yes
I shot 24pSCAN mode on the FX1000 and brought the clips onto the timeline. Project Properties were:
Template: HDV 1080-24p (1440x1080, 23.976 fps)
And indeed, there were 24 individual frames for every one second of footage.

Barren,

When you go to the clips properties, is it progressive or interlaced?

Do you have a red bar above the timeline when you drop the footage in? If so it needs rendered and does not match the timeline settings.

@Tim: The Field order in the project properties template is None (progressive scan). The clip itself (in the project media) is 29.970 fps and the field order is Upper field first.

@Todd: There's no red bar.

That's where I get confused Barron. Some of us have had this discussion before and I don't understand the FX1000 way of recording 24p. If it were true 24p, looks like the clip properties would be 23.976 progressive. The FX1000 24p must be in an 60i wrapper and it is up to the NLE to remove the pulldown....which Vegas, as I understand, does not do.

This is most discouraging. Barron's response makes it clear that Vegas does not handle the embedded 24p correctly. Whether or not it is the FX1000's fault for not putting in correct flags, or Vegas' fault for not handling the flags is immaterial at this point. Hopefully it is a software issue and it will be corrected in an update (or better yet, I hope it's user error)!

The way I understand it, as Tim says it is 24fps but in a 60i wrapper.

You can use something like Cineform Neo Scene to remove the pulldown. This is is a common issue as there are other cameras that record this way also.

For 24fps without the 60i wrapper, if you want to stick with Sony you need to move up to the Z5 or Z7 which records without the wrapper.

I don't find this a big deal, but I don't use 24fps. You can also get great results with 30p, which the FX1000 shoots.

My thoughts as well.

Sooo true!!

I've started a new thread here

as we've kinda moved OT.

How did I know you would agree with that statement Tim?

Jeff, have you tried it on a wedding yet?
