erratic pulldown removal?
i edited a 10-camera concert that was shot “24p” (not advanced) on a combination of SDX-900s, XL-2s and DVX-100s. there was never any doubt that delivery would be ntsc digibeta, so i did not remove the pulldown and cut everything at 29.97.
of course, now someone wants a D5 copy at 23.98. great.
i have a 29.97 master with a completely erratic pulldown. any ideas on the easiest way to end up with a 23.98 quicktime file? i’ve thought about sending the sequence to after effects via autoduck and removing the pulldown from every shot. or are there any deinterlacing plugins/programs that handle this well?
thx
linkp.s. i know this doesn’t necessarily concern final cut pro, but i genuinely trust the opinions of people in the fcp forum. thx again.

You did well. You can’t do a pulldown removal on 24p standard. You need to capture it in 29.97 and take it to compressor to change it to 23.98.

That’s not correct.
29.97fps capture is correct, but you can remove pulldown on normal 24p by using cinema tools. Compressor will not help you here. The only thing to do is hope that the auto-cadence detect in CT works….

thanks for responding, graeme i was hoping you would. i own licenses for both your standards conversion and film effects pacakges. is there a way either of these can help me in this situation?

I’d go with Cinema Tools first, and see how it copes. If it doesn’t work, email me and I’ll figure out something.
