determining capture setting after the fact
I am importing both 24p standard footage and 24p advanced footage (shot on Panasonic DVX100 and DVX100a) into my documentary project, to be edited in a 23.98 timeline, FCP version 5.1.4 (didn’t want to upgrade mid-project)
24p standard footage will be converted via Cinema Tools to bring it into the 23.98 timeline, haven’t done that yet.
I am keeping 24p and 24pADV footage in separate project folders, but I may have sprung a leak and hope somewhere out there can help me make a diagnosis.
Now I’m noticing that a few tapes labeled 24p ADV are in fact shot on standard 24p, since I can see the 3:2 ratio of non-interlaced to interlaced footage when clips are brought into the viewer and toggled through frame-by-frame. Video rate listed in browser as 29.97.
The major headache: I can’t tell WHAT settings I used to bring the footage in, done months ago, and thus don’t know whether I need to re-digitize the whole collection of clips, many of which are now part of my trailer project. Perhaps I had the presence of mind to do that toggling before importing and made the right choice of the standard 24p capture setting, but my tapes say 24pADV and now I’m baffled. So:
1. If I did bring in 24p standard footage using the”remove 3:2 pulldown” setting meant for 24p ADVANCED footage, will the video frame rate say 23.98 or just stay as 29.97?
2.If I bring 24p footage in using the “remove pulldown” I would expect to see some bad artifacts and strange things happening in the viewer but I do not. Does this kind of thing happen later in output, etc.? Hard to notice in the viewer?
Bottom line:
Is there any clear way to know if you made a mistake in how the footage was captured?thank you in advance for any help you can offer me, I am on day#2 of trying to figure this out.
