Chapter 2 Working With DVCPRO HD 41
Logging and Capturing Your DVCPRO HD Footage
You can log and capture DVCPRO HD footage in the same way you log and capture any
other DV source footage. However, because of the unique way DVCPRO HD can record
various frame rates, Final Cut Pro includes some special features for logging and capturing.
Removing Duplicate Frames During Capture
The 720p30 and 720p24 DVCPRO HD capture presets enable the Final Cut Pro option
that removes duplicate frames added by the camcorder. For more information, see
“Recording 720p DVCPRO HD With Alternate Frame Rates” on page 39.
∏ Tip: If you want to capture your footage at 59.94 fps and then remove the duplicate
frames later, you can select your clips in the Browser and choose Tools > Remove
Advanced Pulldown.
The 1080pA24 capture preset also enables the Remove Advanced Pulldown option so
that redundant fields are removed and your captured media file is 23.98 fps instead
of 29.97 fps.
