  • getting back to 24P when captured at 60P?

    Posted by Mgroff14 on October 22, 2007 at 2:20 pm

    Hi,

    We have a couple DVCPRO HD tapes out of the HDX900 here that were inadvertently captured by our assistant editor as 60P without duplicate frame removal. Now that we’re dropping it on a DVCPRO HD 720p24 timeline in FCP we’re getting unsightly stutter and I wanted to see what our best options were for stripping the extra frames to get back to a 720p24 file. The Panasonic Framerate tool is absolutely useless if you ask me. I can never get it to work and it never gives any sort of feedback as to why it’s not doing anything. Is there anything to be done in FCP or After Effects to get the right framerate?

    Thanks,

    mg

    The other two tools available with FCP are”Remove Advanced Pulldown” but I think that only works on DV25/50 footage captured at 24pA.

    The other is Cinema Tools Reverse Telecine. If this doesn’t work within FCP try using the stand alone program.

    I’ve tried both Cinema Tools approaches as well as Remove Advanced Pulldown (you are correct that it only applies to interlaced formats), and none of those approaches gave me what I’m looking for. The Cinema Tools Reverse Telecine option does not become available when I load the source clip within Cinema Tools, but I am certain it is 24P within 60P (as confirmed by stepping through the source file). Am I doing something incorrectly within Cinema Tools?

    Has anyone had this problem and used JES Deinterlacer? I’m not familiar with the program, but it ‘sounds’ like it may do the trick.

    you may want to ask this on the varicam forum.

    Use the Panasonic Frame Rate converter.
