Re: AVCHD 24p Clips- Import Undercranked?!

Hello Tom.

FYI, the duration of a sample AVCHD 24p 49-second clip after ProRes ingest to FCS reads as 33 seconds in the viewer. The very same ingested clip opened in Quicktime indicates the correct 49-second duration, but plays back faster to achieve the erroneous 33-second duration!

To answer your questions:

"What frame rate does item properties or the QuickTime player say the video and audio are?"
--After ingest as ProRes to my DVCPRO HD 720p 23.98 project, the clip item properties indicate "24 fps". In Quicktime the same clip also indicates "24".

"Can you use Cinema Tools to conform it to the correct frame rate?"
--I conformed the clip to 23.98 and now Quicktime indicates a 23.98 rate. But the duration now reads 33 seconds (the original duration is 49 seconds).

"What capture preset do you have in FCP before you ingest the material?"
--DVCPRO HD 720p24 48khz
Hmmm, maybe this is an issue, with its 59.94 rate that's assuming a firewire device for capture?
If so, what capture preset should I use? All of material is either from a P2 card or this new AVCHD format.
