Working with Apple Final Cut Pro X
¡ Important If you want to downconvert a 720p/23.976, 1080p/23.976, or
1080p24 sequence to SD to record a digital cut, you must change your project’s
format (project type) to SD. For example, to downconvert a 720p/23.976 or
1080p/23.976 sequence to NTSC to record a digital cut, you must change the
project type to 23.976p NTSC. You can then select the output format that you
want in the
Digital Cut tool.
