Recapturing 24p with proper pulldown?
Hi,
I’m a Final Cut editor trying to figure out a tricky Avid situation.
I have a 1080p/23.976 project with some mixed formats. One of those mixed formats is 24p SD footage shot with a Panasonic DVX100a. However, this 24p SD footage was captured incorrectly: It was crash captured (so TC is way off) and the proper capture pulldown settings were not set.
My questions:
Is it possible to unlink this footage, manually modify the TC to the proper value, and then happily recapture the footage with the right pulldown?
Is there anyway to capture SD footage in an HD project? (or do we have to change the format to accomplish this?)

Make a copy of your sequence. Decompose copy. Highlight source clips and right click to modify. Select Increament or Decreament to adjust TC offset. Choose pulldown setting under film and 24p settings. Recapture.

Assuming you are in a HD 23.98 project then change format tab to ntsc 23.98. Set pulldown. Capture. Switch format back to HD. Drop clips onto timeline.
Hope this helps.

Thanks! I’ll be taking a look at this project tomorrow so hopefully everything will work out!

There is a feature specifically designed for this. Unlink clips, select all and then select “modify pulldown phase” and set to the proper relationship of “A” to timecode.
