24p advanced to 60i in Vegas 6
Hi, all.
I’m making a short film that mixes 24p footage with 60i. I want the 60i stuff to stay looking interlaced (supposed to look like a home movie), so the final output needs to be 60i.
I shot the 24p stuff on an XL2 in advanced (2-3-3-2 pulldown) mode, just to be safe, ’cause I know you can convert advanced pulldown to regular 24p (3-2) pulldown but can’t go the other way.
I’m at the last stages of the film, but the 24p footage isn’t rendering out correctly. I either get a slight ghosting/trailing during movement, or I get a more stuttery movement that seems to somehow lack motion blur, depending on the different settings I used.
So. . .I need to know, in Vegas 6, the steps needed to get from raw camera footage in 24p advanced to 60i footage (that still looks like 24fps, of course) for final output. Can someone walk me through it? I thought I had it right, but not so much, apparently. Thanks.

Josh, check out the 24p and 60i in same doc thread on the Sony Vegas forum as it seems to answer most of your questions.

Alright, well, I think I’ve gotten it as good as I can rendering the 24pA stuff directly to a 60i file. . .there’s still an interlaced looking frame every 5 frames, but I haven’t found a better look yet. . .so maybe that’s it.
Now I’m having a new issue.
For some strange reason, I’m getting these “half fields” on all my footage in my final 60i timeline. What I mean by half fields is that on the afformentioned interlaced looking frames on any given clip, instead of the lines of resolution on the. . .uh. . .”ghost field” being two lines apart, they’re four lines apart, and it looks horrible in motion. If I take the same clip, with the same FX, and paste into an empty 60i project’s timeline, no problem. Can’t find any settings/preferences that would be making this happen. The only thing I’ve known to make this happen is cropping and zooming in on a clip, then outputting to 60i. This is happening all clips, cropped or not.
Here’s a link to a still of a “half field” from my site:
