  • 24P advanced issues PLEASE HELP!!!! Due tomorrow!

    Posted by Adam Elder on September 21, 2006 at 3:39 am

    I have done hours of research and cannot seem to find the answers I need. Here are my project stats:

    – shot in 24 p advanced 2:3:3:2 pulldown
    – edited on a 24 fps timeline 16 x 9

    I am trying over and over to burn a dvd that looks good. I am using compressor to render to mpeg 2 file. I am still getting these lines in the video that looks like an issue with interlacing…. I have tried the “remove advanced pulldown” option on all clips and did work on some but most come back with an error message saying they are not in DVC Pro format, which IS in fact my video compression method chosen in my preferences. I have tried creating a 23.98 sequence and copy+pasting everything from the old timeline into there, but made everything extremely jumpy. I have progressive selected in my sequence settings…. what am I doing wrong???

    PAL is my system, but a thought to try is to nest your sequence into a 1080 60i timeline and try to send to compressor from there. A small test might show if that helps.

    I am guessing that a DVD m2v might be happier from an interlaced project. I capture 25p into 1080 50i and make DVD’s in SD with good results using compressor.

    Did you capture using the dv 23.98 remove advanced pulldown setting?

    If you did and you media is in fact 23.98, then you need to tell compressor that your footage is 24p (it defaults to NTSC) and compressor will make a 24p Mpeg-2. Don’t worry this DVD will play on all systems as the DVD player will add the 3:2 pulldown necessary for playback on regular ole ntsc tvs.

    Ok Adam,

    I save you more hours of wasting your time looking for the answer to a question which should have been posed long before you started editing if not even shooting.

    Go to the following link and read up on 24P and 24PA, the answers to your issues are all in this article for the most part.

    And when your done thank Graeme Nattress for being so kind to spell it all out.

    PS- and do not uprez the stuff to 1080i which is in no way the answer to a problem with standard def material.
