  • DVCPro HD 3:2 pulldown

    Posted by Devin Clarke on April 14, 2009 at 7:45 pm

    Does anyone know how to solve and interesting pulldown problem?

    I have a HDV converted to DVCPro HD file in Final Cut. Its 29.97fps and I need to convert it to 23.98. It was captured through a third party device in a non controllable setting. The original clip has timecode and start stop points. But the captured clip, is all one file.

    Every time I set the clip to Reverse telecine a box comes up
    ‘This clip is not recommended for reverse Telecine. there are 524 dropped frames.’

    The setting I’ve used in Cinema tools are Conform 29.98 to 29.98

    that seems to help the errors but there are still lots of dropped frames.

    Then Reverse Telecine

    Capture mode: Field1 -Field 2
    Fields: Style 1 AA
    File: New Smaller
    Frames: Conform 23.98 with the standard upper/lower box enabled.

    I have a Macbook Pro 2.5 Intle Core 2 Dro, 4 GB Memory, OSX 10.5.6
    Cinema Tools 4.0.1, FCP 6.0.5

    Thank you for taking the time to read this! if you have any questions please feel free to ask.

    What format is the clip, I assume 1080i? Are you sure it was shot 24p with pulldown? How was it captured?

    Hi thanks for responding!

    Yes the clip is 1080i. It was shot on a XL H1 in HDV 24f mode. When I move frame by frame though the clip i get 2 interlaced, 3 progressive frames repeating, at least I think thats what I’m looking at. 2 fields are mixed together in the ‘interlaced’ frames, no fields mixed in the ‘progressive’ frames. Not really sure what to call it. sorry

    It was captured in one cilp for the whole tape, through a Motu V4 HD box – (https://www.v4hd.com/) converting the HDV signal to DVCPro HD at 29.97fps.

    Thanks

    OK. I would try and use the reverse telecine option in Compressor.
