Advanced Pulldown Nightmare… I don’t know what else to do
Have a conform with 24PA source from DVX-100A. All camera originals were cloned to DVCam with new code. I captured 29.97 8-bit uncompressed over SDI from the clones. Tested a couple of clips to remove the pulldown with Cinema Tools and it worked great. Ran the batch… checked a couple files, everything looked great. I check all of my files and about half of them don’t have the pulldown removed correctly. I was set up with F2-F1 Conform to 23.98 Standard Upper/Lower.
I looked at the files and my A-Frame was all over the place. So, I went through and adjusted all the timecodes on the clips so the jitter frame fell on a 2 or 7. Ran a couple more tests and I still have jitter frames when I do a reverse telecine. I tried Re-Vision Field kit and it’s not working either. I need to batch reverse telecine these in Cinema Tools, but it’s not consistent. Anyone have any clues for me?

I think this is the problem. Cinema Tools has no way of determining where recording stopped and started (critical for figuring out the cadence) because you have eliminated the breaks.

Yeah… the more I think about it, I think that was the critical misstep. It makes me wonder what extra bit of information comes across with a FireWire transfer. I know the dubs were made SDI->SDI, so any flags from the camera original DV weren’t carried across.
My latest attempt is exporting reference QuickTimes, making sure the first frame of the reference QT is an A-Frame… I did a couple of tests, and this *seemed* to correctly reverse telecine the clips. I’ve got 225 to go… who knows.
