Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Hey guys!
I'm directing my first commercial that's going to be on TV here in Miami. Shooting with the Red Epic and editing it on FCP 7. My question is do I have to shoot everything in 29.97 (TV standard)? If so, how can I do slow motion shots (120fps) and 24fps if TV standard is 29.97?
Final Cut Pro 7, Mac OS X (10.7)
The delivery is 29.97 fps. You can work with other frame rates, they just need to be converted. FCP does not do a good job and in some cases you will have serious issues.
Here's a user tip laying all this out.

It might be a good idea to hire someone with some post production chops as at least a consultant.
Nevermind it finally uploaded it. Sent it to your gmail! Let me know if you got it!
So Jordan sent me a short clip and the problem with the instructions he found is that they were for Standard Def NTSC. When you create a 1080i 59.94 sequence in fcp, by default the field dominance is upper. That seems to solve the problem.
