Rephrasing a question – Forcing the removal of pulldown
Hi All,
I’ve already asked about this the other day, but I wanted to re-post as a more coherent issue (this is a cross post with the Firestore forum):
I have a 90 min live segment that was shot 720P 24fps on the HVX going to FS-100 as P2.
I think there was a mixed up setting on the camera or firesotre because FCP does not recognize the P2 files as having pulldown. I can bring them into FCP, but only as 60fps.
I have tried to remove the pulldown using Raylight, but it’s not removing the correct frames, as the 24fps file I get has as many ‘dupe’ frames as live ones.
Also tried After Effects pulldown removal, but no dice there either.
I BELIEVE the camera’s TC setting was FREE RUN
When I look at the imported 60FPS quicktime, this is the cadence I get:
L=live frame
D=dupe frameLDDLDLDDLDLDDLDLDDLDLDDLDLDDLDLDDLDLDDLDLDDLDLDDLDLDDLDLDDLD
Can anyone shed some light on how to get this solved? I need to get the video down to 24P, otherwise I can’t use this footage. Re-rendering the footage down to 24FPS in FCP just gives me choppy video, as it’s keeping as many dupe frames as live ones.
THX!

If Raylight isn’t doing it, then the firestore is using a different pattern than the camera uses for the P2 Cards, On the P2 cards there are 2 identical frames followed by 3 identical frames. Contact DVFilm support they might be able to help you.

thanks. I’ll ring them up on monday. In the meantime, is there a way to manually set the cadence or flag frames to be removed?
cheers,
AJ

You’ll have better luck doing a support request through the website. It’ll require a custom mod to the software.

Hi Everyone!
just wanted to say that my cadence problem was fixed by Raylight and it’s ability to set different frame phases in removing pulldown.
A very happy customer am I.
thx!
AJ
