1080p24 from P2 Pulldown Problem(?)

[Katie Van]

Well my rev telecine seems to work properly on other footage, and I don’t think my setting in Compressor has changed. It seems more like something in my fcp project has.

But here is how I did the telecine:

Encoder:
Allow job segmenting
Video: 23.976, keyframes All
Audio: Pass-through
Streaming: None

Frame Controls:
On
Deinterlace: Reverse Telecine
100% of source

Geometry:
Frame Size: 1280×1080 Custom (16:9)
Pixel Aspect: DVCPRO HD 1080i60(16:9)

Ah, my problem must lie here:

The clips I ingested originally showed as DVCPRO HD 1080i60 in the Compressor column of the browser.

Now when I bring them in they say DVCPRO HD 1080p30

How do I change this? The DP says 1080i60 is correct. I didn’t know you could change this on capture.

I have seen people talk about this before. I don’t think there’s a way to change it after capture, but what you can do is change it compressor.

In COmpressor, click on the movie once you get it loaded up. (That is, click on the thumbnail for the movie). That should bring up the movies properties. Change the field dominance from ‘None’ to ‘Upper’. Then run your rev telecine.

i had the same issue as the original posting. hvx200 footage was shot 1080p24 (not advanced mode). when i logged and transferred it came in at 1080p30. why, i don’t know. i used compressor and kept the video progressive. then when i made a dvd and watched it on a flat screen it flickered during camera moves. it couldn’t be watched. on my editing monitor everything looks great.

i tried some tests and the best thing i could do was export the FCP sequence as interlaced 1080i30. then used compressor leaving it interlaced and made a dvd. the flickering disappeared, but i’m left with the interlaced video on the hd flat screen. i guess on an sd tv it would probably look great.

i’ve read many threads that say keep everything in 24p, even in editing. so how do i do that when i bring the footage into FCP?

any help appreciated.

correction, i meant export it 1080i60 from FCP before using compressor.
