Does anyone know if this fixes FCP compatability with Canon's XL-H1 24F mode?

 

[studiomusic]

Yes it is. That's what I was waiting for.

 

[edcrosay]

Yes it is. That's what I was waiting for.

Awesome.
I've been waiting for this for about 10 months now.

Hopefully this adds support for JVC 24p HDV.

Test later...

Now there's no practical reason not to get a JVC HD-100 or HD-110!

Very Impressive Update With A Lot of Improvement

Why is this page 2?

Wondering the same thing. Seems equally significant as the Aperature upgrade that got top billing. I think it's a fairly major improvement considering all the additional camera's supported and all.

HDV Format Support and Easy Setups
Final Cut Pro 5.1.2 includes native support and corresponding Easy Setups for the
following HDV formats:

• 720p24 and 720p25 (JVC GY-HD100 ProHD camcorder)
• 1080p24 and 1080p25 (Canon XL H1 HDV camcorder); also called 1080F24 and 1080F25

Wow! That looks like a lot to me. The 40 page PDF that explains all the improvements shows a lot of work has been done to improve the whole suite.

FCP upgrade backordered?

Could this be why my order for FCP 4.5 -> FCP Studo upgrade has been placed on backorder? Can't figure out why this would be on backorder, and when it might be shipping.

This is probably the wrong forum for this, but I had a friend ask me recently about working with DigiBeta tapes, but I'm not really a video expert...

What's the best way to get this done? Is there a fairly painless way to get DigiBeta format stuff into a MacPro for editing/encoding? Can he just hook up a DigiBeta deck to his MacPro, and if so does he need any additional hardware, a PCI card, anything like that?

The DigiBeta deck should have and SDI out. If it doesn't, I guess rent one that does. Connect it to one of these:
