Tools
for editing/extracting 24p Advanced 2:3:3:2 footage & how
to do it
-
DVFilm's
DVFilm Maker,
$95, converts 24p Advanced footage from 60i to 24p without decompressing/recompressing.
Maker also converts 24p back to 60i using either standard or advanced
pulldown. Very cool tool. Mac/Windows.
-
In-Sync's
Blade 2, $499,
edits both 24p and 24p advanced directly and automatically; no
conversion step is necessary as Blade parses the 24p information
directly from the captured clips. Windows. Requires dual 933 MHz,
single 1.8 GHz, or faster CPUs.
-
Apple's
Cinema Tools,
now bundled with Final
Cut Pro 4, $999, handles 24p Standard and Advanced. Mac. Final
Cut Pro 4.0 and later can capture 24p Advanced directly either
during capture or after the fact. (Also note that the lower-cost
Final Cut Express cannot edit a 24p timeline.) While FCP
can edit in 24p, it can't print 24p back to tape using anything
other than 2:2:2:4 pulldown unless you have a fast Mac (FCP 4.0
and 4.1 needed something faster than my 800-867MHz Macs, but FCP
4.5, a.k.a. FCP HD, will add 2:3:2:3 or 2:3:3:2 pulldown
on these machines). And FCP has no way to render a 24p
timeline to a 60i file! Maker (above) is still a necessary tool
for some of us.
-
Sony
Pictures (formerly Sonic Foundry) Vegas
4, $560, edits 24p Advanced footage directly (requires the
downloadable 4.0b or later updater!).
Later versions do, too, of course. Windows.
-
Avid
Xpress Pro,
$1695, can edit 24p and can capture 24p Advanced directly. Mac
& Windows.
-
(Many
other products, including Adobe After
Effects, can extract 24p standard footage)

Working
with the Panasonic AG-DVX100, Final Cut Pro and Cinema Tools,
by Andrew Lau on LAFCPUG, discusses basic Cinema Tools and FCP
3 workflow (with some minor errors: batch processing requires
clips that start on A frames, not clips with A frames on
0s and 5s; and batch processing needs F1-F2 or Field 1 Only selected
depending on whether you're using 24p or 24p Advanced footage,
just like manual processing does).

The
Panasonic DVCPRO50 AJ-SDX900,
US$26,000, is now shipping. It's the DVX100's big brother: 16x9
native, interchangeable lenses, DVCPRO25/50 switchable. It's very
sweet!

Sony's
XDCAM
camcorders, the DVCAM PDW-510, US$19,900, and the DVCAM/MPEG-IMX
PDW-530, US$34,000, offer a 24p option card and record on blue-laser
