Field Dominance inconsistent after Advanced Pulldown capture
Following up on my immediately previous post (regarding the interview footage I captured from my dvx 100A using advanced pulldown setting in FCP5) I notice that, according to my FCP5 browser, some of my captured 23.xx clips show a Field Dominance of Lower (Even), while other clips show the word None under Field Dominance. Should I be concerned? And, if so, what’s the solution?
Thanks!

Hi,
You should be able to overpower these settings by changing the sequence settings.
grafxflow.
grafx that flow!

When capturing 24p footage, you want to start to digitize on the 0 or the 5 in the timecode. That way you allow FCP to align up on the A frame, and remove the pulldown. If you don’t, then it will default to digitizing in at 29.97.
Good luck -
Thanks, Dave and all you other helpful CC folk,
But, frankly, I’m still wondering if the fcp browser is giving me an accurate reading on the clip’s frame rate.
When I highlighted one of the “29.97” clips and clicked “Open in Cinema Tools,” I noticed that the little “Rev Telecine” buttom in cinema tools was greyed out. Does this mean that Cinema Tools is telling me that no Rev Telecine pulldown removal is needed (or even possible) since the clip was properly captured? Further evidence to back this hunch came when I clicked Cinema Tools “Clip Analysis” button and saw that the Cinema Tools info window does read this as a 23.98 fps clip.
Should I simply trust that cinema tools is giving me a more accurate analysis of this clip?
Is there a slam dunk fail safe way to check a clip to visually see if it has had the errant pulldown removed?
