1080pa24

You have to import the footage and remove the advanced pulldown. Set your sequence up for 1080 23.98 DVCPRO HD and edit away.

What problems are you having?

I import the files and remove duplicate frames, In my bin they read as29.97fps intead of 23.98. I’m using the dvcpro hd 1080 23.98 setting in the easy set up but when I try to load those settings to the sequence settings the QT compressor setting goes to 1080i50 instead. when I try to playback the video stutters. Help !

have you made a new timeline with which to put in your media? If it’s showing up 29.97, you are doing something wrong. If you have a 1080i50 sequence, you have done something wrong. Walk me through what you are doing.

1. create new project
2. use easy setup and select Blackmagic HDTV 1080psf24-DVCPRO HD
3.Import P2 w/remove duplicate frame selected

At this point in my bin I have sequence 1 at 24fps but the clip is at 29.97. I know that when I check the file in camera it says 1080pa24.

I figured it out…FCP applies a pull down to the footage, that is why the 29.97 fps.

MAKE A NEW SEQUENCE (sequence 2) and drop in footage. What happens then?

[Jeremy Garchow]

The footage is recorded in 29.97, so it might show up 29.97. When you remove the pulldown frame, you should be left with 23.98. FCP does not add pulldown to the footage that you just removed the pulldown from (that’s what ‘remove duplicate frame’ means, remove the pulldown). Your sequence/media should be 23.98. That’s the whole point. 24p, no pulldown.

I don’t think that is the case. It does not yet support 24P. it does add a pull down as far as I can tell. It is as if you had tecined your film. I’m open to suggestions but now it is playing beautifully !

Again, The media does not have a pulldown added to it. If you go through your media frame by frame, you should see that you have 24 progressive frames. FCP or your decklink most likely, is adding the pulldown as you play out. The whole point of shooting 108024pa is to remove the pulldown to leave you with 24p media. It is not a telecine, as that would have a 3:2 (normal) pulldown, not a 2:3:3:2 (advanced) pulldown. I’m glad it’s working for you.

FCP does not support 24p and I think that the way they have supported 24pa is probaly a short term thing. taking out the extra frames on import and then adding pull down that I can clearly see in the timeline.
