![]() Once I convert my stuff to ProRes or Proxy, FCPX handles it like a breeze. ![]() Maybe Apple will eventually fix FCPX to handle 1080p?įCPX does in fact edit 60p if you're willing to put a little more leg work into the workflow. That's what I'm going with Canon's HFG10. If you have the patience, you should rent/buy and return as many camera's as you can to discover the right one for you. I truly hope you are as critical as we are if you're going to spend $1k or more on a camera. and I'm reading the other thread you referenced, Gene. So, how would using 1080i impact my use of these mediums? (I probably would not be as critical on "image quality" as some of you more experienced guys are. It's just a matter of how you convert the files. What I THINK would be my output medium from FCPX: Mostly to my 27'Mac screen, Vimeo, DVD's and to project at our church from my Mac.Īll this can be support even if you shoot in 60p. And you only have to convert if you shot 60i in 5.1, or 60p in stereo or 60p in 5.1. Yes! But "converting" isn't all that bad. 1080p is better in a number of ways but as of now I will have to "convert" before editing in FCPX" I can shoot 1080i and edit directly in FCPX it's only compatible w/ my HTPC or ATV2 if I bring the frame size & rate down to 720p30 or lower. HTPC = Home Theater PC (it's my Blu-ray player / Media Server)ĥ.1 AAC = 5.1 in Advance Audio Codec (the output format my 1080p60 audio gets exported to. It's worth all the crap I have to go through to retain this quality. If I play my exports on my HTPC or Mac.an H.264 1080p60 w/ 5.1 AAC looks the best and plays extremely well. To me, there is a significant quality reduction this way. If I want to view my stuff on the AppleTV2.I know I have limitations to frame size and rate. For me, I use AppleTV 2, an HTPC and Mac's. At the end of the day, you'll have to figure out what your end output device is going to be. Personally, the 60i image quality is really poor compared to the 60p. Have a look at the one I'm more involved in. If you plan to shot ANYTHING other than 60i / 2 channel on the TM900, then you'll need to convert via all the methods discussed in this or other threads. "Is it only p60 footage that FCPX can't handle? What other formats from the TMC900 will FCP-X handle?" "Are you guys saying I have to do some sort of pre-conversion before I can get TM900 video into FCP-X? Aside from the bother of doing this, what do I loose? Is this something that Apple might correct in the near term for this seemingly VERY popular camera?" I am truly deperate to use FCPX, but not willing to compromise what I want in order to do so. I'm willing to accept I made a $300 mistake, but before I ask Apple for my money back.I'd like to ask the community if they can help. ![]() If 60p or 60i is possible with 5.1, please point out my error. Here is a link to an original 60i / 5.1 file and FCPX's ingest file: .com/gcarbon/r1c751Ĭan anyone shed some lite on this for me? I'm sure it could be summed up with "FCPX doesn't do AC-3 5.1" if that were the case. I would prefer not to since it truly does look "better" when my 2 year old is running around and there is a lot motion in my clips, but the 5.1 is sort of a deal breaker for me. ![]() If I record 60i / 5.1, FCPX downmixes to stereo. When I re-wrap OR transcode with Clipwrap, FCPX doesn't read the AC-3 5.1 track and there is no audio during preview or in a timeline (even though the re-wrapped file plays fine with QuiktimeX and shows it's a 5.1 track). If I go to 60p, it doesn't recognize the format. If I want to shoot in 60i and in stereo, then FCPX will import "natively". I recently purchased FCPX after reading it "edits native AVCHD" and the TM900 was listed as a "compatible" camera. For the past year, I've been shooting with Panasonic's TM700 in 60p / 5.1, editing with PremierePro and I've hated every moment because up to then.I had edited in FCE or FCP (since 2004) and think Premiere's UI and workflow is a bit crap.
