DVX footage looking slow and interlaced why?
Let me preface this by saying that I know this must have been answered 500 times before. Sorry for that, i couldn’t find the right post. Anyhow, I’m editing a project with some xl1s footage and DVX footage. XL1 stuff shot in 30P HVX stuff shot in… ? I don’t know. When I look at the DVX footage it’s slowed down and very interlacy looking. I tried using the “remove advanced pulldown” tool under the “tools” on a whim, but this does not seem to help. I’m using FCP6 and I’ve never before had problems with 24P footage, from the DVX or HVX but this time I think I captured it wrong or something. It was captured off of the xl1 as a deck. Thats been fine in the past with the apropriate setting. Any ideas on how to set my DVX footage right?

Is it DVX or HVX footage, your post mentions both. How did you capture it?

OK, there actually is a problem. I wasn’t seeing things. to recap, I’ve got two sources of video in my timeline. Some XL1s footage shot at 30P which looks fine, and some DVX100b footage SOME OF WHICH does not look fine. i don’t know what mode the DVX was shot in, either 24P or 24P advanced I think. SOME of the DVX footage has a problem. The difference between the problem DVX assets and the OK DVX assets is that the problem assets claim to be 23.97 under properties:format. If I go frame by frame in the 29.97 timeline, the bad footage plays this pattern of advancing the frames – advance,advance,repeat, advance, interlace, advance, advance, repeat, advance, interlace. that is how the 23.97 footage plays in my 29.97 timeline.
So I also have good footage also shot with the DVX that is 29.97 footage in a 29.97 timeline. This pattern goes: adv,adv,adv,int,int,adv,adv,adv,int,int. A 3:2. Looks fine.
So how do I change the behavior of the bad clip? How do I modify it’s setting so that it considers itself 29.97 footage?
thanks so much guys, you are so helpful.
