24fps editing using premiere pro cs5
Hi..after about two hours of searching i need some help with some editing. I have footage from a canon camcorder that was shot in the 24fps mode.. which the manual says actually records in 60i. The footage is 1920×1080 respectively. Will I need to perform any type of pulldown removal in premiere pro to truly edit it as 24fps? I believe the camcorder is converting the 24fps to 60fps interlaced while it is capturing. Or if I set my project settings to edit in 24fps will that be fine? Same thing goes for shooting at 60fps interlaced…Do I need to remove pulldown to edit in 30fps(29.97) which is usually the frame rate I edit in…video..dvd…tv..etc..the camera has the options to shoot in 60i..30p…24p but is all recorded as 60i.
any help to make the confusion easier.
thanks -

Best advice I can give you is that these camera’s only shoot these other fps styles as looks. That’s it. It’s a simulated look of 30p and 24p, but you are still going to be editing in its actual signal of 60i.
Seeing that you are using CS5 you can get the correct sequence by selecting a clip from the project panel and then drag it over the little New Item icon on the bottom of the Project Panel (it looks like a page with a fold on the top corner) and this will look at the actual properties of the clip itself and make a matching sequence.
It will use the clips name for the sequence name, I suggest to change that to reflect the name of the project/job and the version of the edit.
Happy Editing.

Hi jon thanks for the input…so basically its kind of pointless to use a pulldown. Are these cameras performing a pulldown internally to give it the effect of 24fps?..Only asking this because I did drop the footage in AE CS5 and the footage was 29.97 and I had AE guess the 3:2 pulldown and the footage then became 23.98(30fps)..I had my project settings at 24fps and was rendering that way and could see the difference with playback being slower but still good quality…will this just cause problems in my project with the quality of the video? Sorry kinda new to this…even editing in 29.97 will I have the 24fps effect for my project?
thanks

Ok, What this camera is recording is 24Psf. That means that the camera records 24p in a 60i signal using a 2:3 pulldown.
When you lood the footage into Premiere (or AE) you need to right click the clips (you can select all of them at once) and click “Modify>Interpret Footage” Under “Field order” select ” conform to no fields (progressive scan).
From now one the footage should behave exactly like true 24p footage.

Should have said “No fields (progressive scan)” Rather then “none” I edited my first post.
