Mixing Formats
I have begun using my Nikon D800 to shoot video to good effect given the use of the good f2.8 lenses I have. I am editing this in FCP7 without issue so long as using clips from this one source. However, when trying to use other clips from my consumer level AVCHD camcorder in mixture with those from the DSLR I am have some playback syncing issues in the time line, even when exporting and reimporting what I think is similar coded versions of the video from the camcorder. I know this is simply a matter of finding the right common code for converting the video shot on the camcorder, but wondering if anyone has had and solved the issue before, before I reinvent the wheel in my exploration?
I am shooting at 25 fps on the DSLR, while I assume the Sony consumer AVCHD camcorder is using 30 -- but I tried to convert the latter to 25, and then mix, but without solution. I need to check the audio for the source of the issue, and just have not had time to plow through it all. I do know the bit rates are very different on the captured clip from the AVCHD camera from that shot on the DSLR, and suspect that is where I need to explore next?
