DVCPRO HD Output in Final Cut Pro
DVCPRO HD clips and sequences are recorded to tape via FireWire, just like any other
DV media. For more information about editing to tape, see Volume I, Chapter 15,
“Editing to Tape,” in the Final Cut Pro 4 User’s Manual.
720p Output and Playback
720p DVCPRO HD provides several frame rate options during recording and playback
(60, 30, 24), but the actual frame rate used is always 59.94 fps (over FireWire) or 60 fps.
720p30 and 720p24 Output
When recording 720p30 or 24 to tape, Final Cut Pro automatically outputs 59.94 fps
video, creating and tagging duplicate frames.
For more information about how DVCPRO HD flags 59.94 fps frames with alternate
frame rate information, see “
Recording and Playing Back Variable Frame Rates
For information about editing your clips or sequences to a particular timecode position
on tape using the Edit to Tape window, see Volume I, Chapter 15, “Editing to Tape,” in
the Final Cut Pro 4 User’s Manual.
For information about manually recording clips or sequences from Final Cut Pro to your
video deck, see Volume I, Chapter 14, “Recording to Videotape,“ in the Final Cut Pro 4
User’s Manual.
Warning:
Don’t record DVCPRO HD video to a tape that already has DVCPPO (25) or
DVCPRO 50 footage on it. Even though these formats can use the same tape stock,
the recording speeds are different.
