Chapter 1 Using DVCPRO HD 47
Capturing 720p30 and 720p24 DVCPRO HD Video
DVCPRO HD always records and plays back 720p video at 59.94 fps or 60 fps, but
alternate frame rates can be simulated by flagging certain frames for removal during
capture or playback. For example, if you choose to record 720p with a frame rate of
29.97 fps, the camera is actually recording at 59.94 fps, but every other frame is a
duplicate frame that Final Cut Pro will ignore during capture.
