  • Does FCP6 Add Pulldown?

    I’m impatiently waiting for mine to arrive, but I just have to know.

    What happens when you put 23.98 source footage on a 29.97 sequence? Does it add 3:2 pulldown or does it just duplicate frames?

    I’d like to know too. Also, what happens if you add 29.97 footage that has a 2:3 pulldown to a 23.98 timeline. Does it remove the pulldown or just skips every fifth frame?

    Yes, I suspect this hype about “no rendering Open-Format Timeline” means preview quality only. Can anyone confirm/refute?

    Also – anyone used the new Compressor for standards conversion? PAL to NTSC or vice-versa? I’m awfully curious to know how well this optical-flow really works.

    BTW – If FCP6/Compressor doesn’t live up, I’ve been very happy with the Nattress standards conversion plug-ins – at least for SD PAL-NTSC & 720p24 to 525i29.97 conversions. Of course, rendering is an issue, so I only use it at the “online” stage. Not sure if it will do HD cross-conversions or not.
