Converting 23.976 to 29.97 with 3:2 pulldown using Compressor

[Peter Barrett]

I stand corrected. PAL had always been upper field first, until DV came along. Mixing formats was often problematic, hence the field shift filters built into FCP.

Avid’s answer was to swap field order when rewrapping PAL DV into its MXF wrappers – and as I recall it resampled chroma to 4:1:1 from PAL DV’s 4:2:0, further reducing chroma resolution. Nice!

Macs, FCP, Avid, Nitris DX, Color, HDCAM…

Isn’t it crazy how fast things have moved along?
