Sequence setting advice please
I am trying to resurrect an old project shot on S16mm film back in 1993 and do a re-compilation of the film because the only complete edit exists now on VHS, and we all know how wonderful that can look.
The neg' was transferred to DV/DVCPro NTSC 720x480 3.6MB/Sec with separate audio ( off of DAT tape recorded double system / dumb slate…….and yes syncing that is going to be fun seeing as I will be trying to lip-sync someone reading in English and Welsh ! ).
My question is what would be the best timeline / sequence setting to use for these video files for the re-edit? I cannot see one that exactly corresponds to the video's spec's.
One other thing, FCP doesn't seem to want to import the DAT audio files even though according to file information they seem to have been transferred to QT MOV format at sometime or other. Any clues as to how these could be extracted?
