Folks,
I am recoding HDV 24PA with a Sony V1U. Did a big project with this last year and had to use the famous Cinema Tools/AIC workaround to edit that material in a 23.98 timeline in FCP5. (these shows have to be delivered as 23.98). I had read that FCP6 solved this problem. I now have FCP6 and the HDV 24P setting does not remove pulldown. Does anybody know if FCP6 did solve this problem or is the workaround still necessary - which would be BAD news.

Just so you know, both Pro-Res and AIC both will capture 23.98 correctly from shooting in that mode. So you can use either one now and get the result you're looking for.

I believe ProRes is supposed to be better quality. I can't really tell the difference with my work. I use AIC because that's what I started with. I don't see enough difference in ProRes for me to change, so I haven't.
But for someone starting new I wouldn't really suggest one over the other. Perhaps do some tests with both and see if there's some reason (quality or system performance) that you like one over the other.
