Problems ingesting 720p60 footage from Panasonic P2 card

try opening the prores file in quicktime and make sure framerate is correct. If not, use cinematools conform to adjust frame rate.

What happens if you use clipwrap to convert the footage? You can download a demo of it that will do a short section. The reason I'm asking, is I recently was helping someone with a similar problem and it was definitely a frame rate problem. individual frames were not being mapped to individual frames.

720p60 footage from Panasonic HVX300

Panasonic doesn't make a HVX300. It does sell a HVX200a, and HPX300.

In any case, ClipWraps works with mts files, not mxf files from p2 cards where either DVCProHD or AVCINTRA has been recorded.

It would be helpful if you could accurate indicate what cam is being used, and also what preferences settings you have established in the log and transfer window.

What David said...ClipWrap won't work for P2 footage.

FCP doesn't drop any frames when you use Log and Transfer. All it does is wrap the MXF files into a QT wrapper, and marry Audio and Video. Zero quality loss. Well, with DVCPRO HD and when you bring in AVCIntra native. When it transcodes, it does convert, but really shouldn't leave out frames. Try bringing in the footage native and see if it acts the same.

AND...do you have a capture card and external monitor to watch what is REALLY happening when you play the footage? The Canvas is not the best place to judge the quality of your footage. Viewer either.

So...play a clip directly from the camera to a monitor, it looks fine. From FCP to the monitor...same clip, it's all drop-framey?

Where is this media stored? Oh...and try to bring it in Native and see what happens.

Since you are trying to download directly from the camera, try "Capture", not "log and transfer".

For CAPTURE he'd have to connect the camera to the Kona card, and play from the camera...in real time. Defeating the purpose of tapeless.

Oooo...oooo....ooo....

In the Log and Transfer preferences, uncheck the REMOVE PULLDOWN option. Then try again.

got a short clip of a section with a lot of jerky movement you can send to me?

If clip wrap doesn't work, isn't there a panasonic utility to convert the clips?
