  Removing 3:2 pull down in Final Cut Pro

  Posted by Christian Heilman on February 9, 2010 at 4:33 pm

  Ok So I have footage in a sequence in FCP 6 that has a 3:2 pull down in a sequence thats set at 29.97. The footage has interlacing issues due to the way it was shot. I need to remove the 3:2 pull down. Curently Im taking each source clip into After Effects, hitting Cmd-F for the interpret footage option, and doing a trial an error but first choosing ‘Guess 3:2 pulldown’, then trying WSSWW SSWWW SWWWS etc in the remove pulldown option. And stepping through one by one to see which one works. Then rendering out the new clip and dropping back in to an FCP sequence set at 23.98.

  Is there any easier way to do this???

  Thanks

  Christian

  Compressor has a reverse telecine function

  So can Cinema Tools, but it’s a more manual process.

  Yeah…you can use CINEMA TOOLS to remove the pulldown…it has 4 options to choose from, and it will make new footage. Capturing the footage, removing pulldown as you capture is a good option too…unless your footage is already captured, like yours is.
