    Hi,

    Sorry to post on a commonly talked about subject, but none of the other posts I’m finding seem to be helping me out. I have some 108024PA (I assume it’s PA, P2CMS says the pulldown is 2:3:3:2), shot on an HVX 200A.

    When I Log and Transfer the footage in FCP 6.0.4, I have the Remove Duplicate Frames box checked off. When it puts the QT wrapper on my MXF footage, the files in my bin end up as 29.97. I tried bringing that footage to Cinema Tools to do the Reverse Telecine, but when I bring it in there, the Reverse Telecine option is greyed out.

    To make matters worse, I didn’t notice this problem until well into the editing process. So I assume I’ll have to scrap what I’ve done if I want to edit in a true 24p (which I guess will be 23.98?).

    Can anyone help me out in getting this to 24p or 23.98?

    Wish I knew what to say. Every time I shoot 1080PA 24 (not often) it removes the pulldown properly. Never had this issue…so I don’t know the solution.

    Just replied so you don’t think I’m ignoring you.

    Well, I’m not sure exactly what happened, but I found the answer from Noah K. What I did was select all the clips in my bin, go to tools>>remove advanced pull down, and let that go to work. Then I selected everything in my sequence, created a new timeline at 23.98, and pasted it in there. There were a few sync hiccups and editing gaps due to the fact that I cut out quite a few frames, but it just took a quick pass over it to get it in working order, and in 24p!
