24p Advanced or normal
Hi folks,
I am onlining a a documentary shot on the pani DVX100a. I am not the filmmaker so I was not part of the shooting. What is the easiest way to figure out if the footage was shot in advanced mode or the normal 3/2 pull down mode on the camera? I think it would have been the normal mode but he had some weird timecode issues and breaks so it may be a mixed timecode mode on the same tapes. The shooter of the doc hasen’t gotin back to me yet so I am trying to be proactive about finding out the solution. I am using FCP 5 and BMD Decklink SP card, the footage is playing back on a sony DSR 1100 with an analog out card. I am cross posting in FCP.TIA

Capture at 29.97, then step through frame by frame. 24pA has one interlaced frame every 5 frames. 24pN has more in a different pattern.

If you have the tapes, and can play them back in a DVX, you can press the “counter” button until it displays “FR” (for “frame rate”); it’ll tell you there whether the clip currently playing is 24p or 24pA.
