AE workflow for a former Combustion user
I would like to ask a quick workflow question. I have a music video that was shot on 16mm tansferred to D-beta and the FX shots were then sent to me. I am new to using magic bullet and AE and am fighting the urge to migrate back to combustion to do this job so I want to be clear on my path. Would I:
1. capture at highest res I can (SDI into my suite using a decklink. 4:2:2)
2. Then how do I remove the telecine? Or do I use magic bullet to convert to progressive frames?Thanks in advance.

You would indeed capture at best resolution. Then bri9ng the shots into AE and in the interpret footage dialog you can tell AE to remove the 3:2 pulldown. If you edit this footage prior to bringing into AE, you may run into issues as the 3:2 order gets changed due to edits.
You would then create a 23.976 composition. You do not need magic Bullet for this. You do your edit and fx work, then render out with a 3:2 pulldown (If you are going back out to video).
Hope this helps,
Mark

Thanks all. I am just having those pains of “OK, in C i would do it like this, but where is that little checkbox inAE????”
Shortly after my orig post I realized that INTERPRET FOOTAGE was where I needed to be. I am using Pinnacles Rig Zapper plugin, and am loving it. The only thing that I find that is still better to go to C for is the tracker. Maybe my next play around will be importing and exporting tracking data between them.
Anyway, thanks.
