24p
Recently, I shot some video with a Panasonic DVX100A in 24p mode. Stuff looks great.
Logged it into FCP 5, edited it, and exported as a Final Cut Quicktime movie.
Once the file was made, I went to Inspector and found the FPS was 29.97.
Where did I miss the boat? Should I have exported through Compressor? And if so,
how do you set it for 24p?
Thanks much,

When you captured. If you shot…and ONLY if you shot 24pA, then you should have captured using the Advanced Pulldown option…or you could have reverse telecined after you captured.
BUT…this begs the question…why do you need 23.98? If you shot 24p then you have the 24 frame LOOK in a 29.97 stream…it’s perfectly fine. 24P and the NEED to be EXACLTY 23.98 is a load of hype.

“24p” goes to tape @ 29.97 with pull down added. That camera will not record at any other speed.
24fps is ONLY critical if you are going to do a FILM OUT. THen, it’s a whole ‘nother workflow.
If you’re never going to film, then don’t worry about it.

Dave…
you have finally accepted that there is a place for the 24p workflow???
I commend you…
Knowing that you’ve been a 60i proponent/ advocate for a long time and it is good to see you expanding your knowledge base by sharing.
thanks.
