1.224P AVI Type 2 and 24P QuickTime

NOTE: This feature is only for NTSC FireStore FS-3 models.

The 24p AVI Type 2 and 24p QuickTime file formats were created for use with products such as Apple Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5, in-sync Blade and Sony Vegas Video that support 24p editing modes (progressive scan, 24 frames per second). 24p is only for use with camcorders that support 24p record modes such as the Panasonic DVX-100, DVX-100A and the Canon XL2. In order to use these modes, you must first set your camcorder to 24p Advanced mode (it is also possible to use the 24p standard mode). On the Panasonic DVX-100 and –100A, open the camcorder Menu System and navigate to SCENE FILE -> PROGRESSIVE 24P (ADV).

Once set, your camcorder will output a 24p DV stream via the FireWire port. On a Canon XL2, simply switch the camcorder to 24p mode using the frame rate control.

When imported into the application, clips can be used instantly within 24p projects. Files will appear in these applications as DV-NTSC 23.98 frames per second clips.

Use the following REC FORMATS for 24p editing in these applications:

Application

24p AVI TYPE 2

24p QUICKTIME

Apple Final Cut Pro

NOTE: This REC FORMAT is only intended for use with camcorders that support the 24p DV standard. Files recorded in 24p AVI TYPE 2 or 24p QUICKTIME are only for use in applications that support 24p edit modes.
