capture old, OLLLLDDDDD 24p footage

[Mark Suszko]

I am as in the dark as you are. Tr fixing a sample section of what you’ve already captured, using compressor or cinema tools, and let’s see. Cinema Tools was made for just this kind of thing, if I recall correctly.

So I opened a clip in Cinema Tools- clicked reverse telecine, and I “think” it looks better! And it saves it as a new file (.mov.rev) Now that new clip should be ready to be edited in Final Cut now, yeah? I’m just wondering what settings I should use in the reverse telecine pop-up menu (see attached screenshots) and also what capture settings I should use in FCP for optimal quality before running the clips through Cinema Tools to remove the jaggedy-ness. Thanks!

FCP 7 is most “comfortable” working in ProRes. I tend to use ProRes422 for most things in it.

So, let us know if it’s “solved” after you’ve tried a sample of the new footage.

So for capturing I should use either of the 422 presets? Do I need to edit the presets at all to match the “24p” footage?

[Keith Eyrich]

Will change to 23.98, and edit in 23.98 timeline! What should the frame rate be in my presets when I capture the rest of my footage?

[Keith Eyrich]

The rest of the footage is the same, 24p of unknown variety. So do I need to set my capture preset to 23.98? Right now I’m just capturing at 29.97.
