Re: 1080 24p FCP workflow questions

If you shot 1080p 24A on P2, you can remove the advanced pulldown upon import if you have FCP 5.1.2.

It's really simple and you will be working @ 23.98 in your timelines.

If you shot 24p Normal, you will have to use Cinema Tools or simply edit in a 29.97 timeline.

If you uncertain of the difference between 24pN and 24pN is, I totally agree with you and it was a bad decision on Panasonic's part to name 24pNative as they did because 24pNormal is more familiar with video people.

In the 720p realm 24pN means 24p native as in you will record in that native frame rate.

In 1080 and 480 formats, 24pN means 24p Normal, and that means your footage will get recorded with pulldown.

That is the very short of it and you might want to do some reading on what 24p means in video.
