30fps footage back to 24fps – NOT pulldown
I have some footage that was origionally shot at 24fps progressive (film) – but was delivered to us at 30fps, but NOT with 3:2 pulldown, instead every 5th frame is duplicated. So stepping through the footage every frame is progressive (no interlacing), but I have duplicated frames every 5th frame.
Is there an automated way to get this back to 24fps? If I just drop it into a 24fps comp AE drops 1 out of every 5 frame – but it drops the wrong frame, and I still have duplicated frames. That would work but I need a way to tell AE which frame to drop.
Any suggestions?

Have you tried sliding the footage forward or back in the 24fps comp until it drops the correct frame? (just a shot in the dark)
If that doesn’t work, you could try using time remapping to remove the first duped frame (using keyframes to skip it), then use the loop_out expression with just “offset” or “continue” as the parameter.

Yea, tried sliding it around, no go.
I thought about setting time remap keys then sliding them around to manually remove the dup frames – that will certainly work, but I’m hoping to find a more automated way.

I put the 30fps footage into a 30fps comp, then put that comp into a 24fps comp. Just like that same problem, it was dropping the wrong frame, but then I was able to slide the footage around within the 30fps comp to get it to drop the correct frames in the 24fps comp. After a little tweaking it worked!

Thanks for posting the solution — not everyone does!
