Panasonic AG-HMC150 and FCP
I am very close to pulling the trigger on this camera but have an important question. Having used the canon consumer cameras, I experienced the pf24 and pf30 framerates. The extra step to convert them is fine, but I am looking to not have to do that ever again, partially because it still confuses me.
When you shoot in 1080p24 or 720p24 and then log and transfer, does the converted apple pro res come out as 24fps, or 60i? Same thing with 720p60. Does it transfer in FCP as 59.97fps, or does this, as well as the 1080/720p24 and 1080p30 transfer in as 60i with the need for telecine (on24p) to be removed?
I know all the information says 720p24 native for the camera, but I'm unsure what that really means.
Thank you!
