  • DV Start/Stop detect for 23.98 DVX100 24P Advanced footage

    Howdy folks,

    I’ve looked all over online for an answer and have turned up empty handed. I’ve got 24P Advanced footage where Final Cut is removing the pulldown during capture. Using DV Start/Stop leaves me with markers that are shifted to the incorrect time (approximately 4/5ths off… which is about the ratio of 23.98 to 29.97) Is there a workaround? I’ve got 30 hours of footage that is going to be much easier to log with DV Start/Stop.

    I’ve got the same problem. Took me a bit to figure out what was happening. I can go through and correct all the segment markers – at least it gets me closer, but that seemed way tedious.

    What I finally did was to do the above but not move the markers.

    1. capture
    2. mark in/out points
    3. drag clip to timeline
    4. Use markers as guide to where things are – find clips I want and put new markers in and title the marker with eventual clip name I want
    5. Remove unused markers as I go
    6. Drag the entire clip from timeline to browser.
    7. reveal all markers and select all
    8. Modify>Make Subclips
    9. Select all subclips
    10. Media Manager – copy clips to new media files in a new location.
    11. When I’ve got everything I want, create a new project and import all the resulting individual clips into the project.

    This is less onerous than it sounds. FCP does most of the heavy lifting.

    Another idea I haven’t tried yet is to capture from the 100a at 29.97 in regular DV. Then do the DV in/out markers. Then remove the extra frames to get to 24P. Might get me closer. Will try that for the next 10 hours of capture. But the first ten is already in the machine.

    What have you found since August?

    thanks.
