3:2 pulldown
I am working on a project that was shot on film, and edited on Final Cut using beta transfers(at 29.97 3:2pulldown). The film has now been scanned at 24fps and converted to sgi files. I have iported thos files, clipped the handles,and made a composite of the files.
My problem is when I render a quicktime to check against the original beta transfers the new footage always plays faster.
I have the 3:2 option checked and I have the frame rate 29.97. The first and last frame are identical to the original cut, but when I play the newly rendered quicktime it is moveing faster then the original.
Is there a setting I am missing?
Any help would be much apreciated.

If you are asking why something scanned at 24 fps seems to be playing faster at 29.97, I think the answer is obvious. 🙂
I don’t think checking off 3:2 pulldown actually changes the speed.
All kidding aside, if you are playing the 24 fps material in an NTSC environment, interpret the footage [cmd + F] to 29.97 and put the footage in a 29.97 seq rendered out to NTSC.
see if that does it.

Thanks,
I didn’t realize I had to adjust the settings in creating the composition, forcing the program to read the 24fps files as 29.97. Thought the rendering process would do it alone.
