24p workflow in FCP 5.0
Hello everybody…..
I need some help, we just got a whole 40 hours of shooting done in XL2’s at 24p, we have different opinions in how to do all the post in FCP but before I give the guys the GO AHEAD I would really like to hear the experts opinions.
Can somebody help us with a workflow for 24p in FCP 5.0, starting from capturing the footage, sequence presets, any pulldown removal first or after, etc, is there anybody that has try it already and maybe can explaine it to us in order to get the best results.
I thank you all in advance for your help, Yury. -

24P or 24PA?
What frame rate are you finishing in? (ulitmate delivery)
Without these two there is no poin tin discussion workflow.

Assuming you shot in 24pA. If you didn’t you’re pretty much hosed(not really but lots of work). 🙂 Here’s the workflow:

Noah,
I read that article. It’s great.
So do you set up a capture preset that removes the advanced frames. I find if you don’t then the24PA footage is a bit more “choppy” than regular 24P.
My capture preset is DV NTSC @29.97
advance pulldown removal is checkedis this correct or do you just use the FCP DVNTSC 48K preset.

There’s an easy setup for 24p with advanced pulldown already you could use too- but your settings are already correct.

Noah,
I’ve been doing a lot of searching and I just want to make sure I’m understanding this correctly. It seems you are the guru on this specific topic.
If I have 24pa footage from a DVX100a camera and using FCP5. I want to cut in a 23.98 timeline.
From reading that Larry Jordan article and other stuff you have posted on DVXuser, I’m still confused (sorry).
In FCP, in the Easy setup menu, there is a setup for:
DV-NTSC 24p (23.98) Advanced Pulldown Removal
Is this the preset I should be using? Is this setting capturing at 29.97 and then removing the pulldown?
And when you say not to capture at 23.98, I assume you specifically mean using the FCP preset that says:
DV-NTSC 24p (23.98).
Is that all correct?
Thanks again.

Hello,
I shot some footage with the dvx-100 in regular 24p mode, rather than 24pa. The camera is the older model manufactured in 2002, I assumed it was different from the “100a”.
Since the stuff was shot in just 24p I wanted to know what I am in store for when working with it. Also I want to use the footage for special effects, I assumed the progressive mode the footage was shot with would help with that since it wasn’t, again I assume, interlaced.
Can you provide me with some info on what kind of dillemma, if any, I’m getting into.Thank you
Larry
