  Ok, I’ve never worked in the realm of film and 24FpS before so this is all new to me. I want to do this right the first time.

  I’ve got my machine set up with Final Cut Pro HD 4.5 on a G5 with a Decklink Extreme PCI-X card. DV deck is the Sony DSR-11. Capturing using Firewire.

  The footage I am using is on DVCam tapes…Footage originaly shot on HDCam at 23.98 but dumped down using 3:2 pulldown 29.97.

  I need to set up my capture and sequence presets so that when I send it off to do the on-line the EDL will reflect a 24p timeline and timecode. I really need help in setting this up right…

  Sequence Presets:

  Frame Size: 720×480 (NTSC DV 3:2)

  Pixel Aspect: NTSC – CCIR 601/ DV

  Field Dominance: Even or Odd Fields? (Do I need this if I

  I’ve never edited 24p before or for that matter done a 3/2 pull down, but from tons of Cow reading the workflow for D 24p to DV is to get time-code window burns, edit, create edl in excel or some program for online at HD suite. I’m dealing with this for a friend who shot in HD and transfered to DV with no window time-code burn. It sounds like your going to try to match the time-code base of the original HD footage. I would search post in the HD forum too. If I remember, there are some issues with changing 24fps to 30 and back. Hope someone with more knowledge chimes in with more clear information.

  Hope this helps-
