edit to tape
I do the normal Edit to Tape from a timeline that is in a regular 29.97 frame rate setting. But noticed that if I Edit to Tape a clip (as opposed to a timeline), the output seems to be in a 24frames look – a progressive look, not sure why, although I am curious.
Can anyone shed any light?

Sure would help us to know what format of video you are working with. DV, BetaSP, digibeta, DVCPro 50, Sony IMX.
And are you monitoring on an external NTSC monitor?

That works?
I thought you get the “compression mismatch” or whatever errors message trying that.
It probably does that because the clip itself may not be interlaced or the field order is different than the card is set for possibly.
either way, its not supposed to really work for proper function.

Sony IMX – yes I am monitoring it on a external monitor.

No error message is given, and to be honest, it looks great. I’m just trying to figure out what exactly is happening, and what output it’s giving me.

Was it shot 24 or 30p? And when I say 24p I mean 29.97 with pulldown.

29.97 NTSC – regular DV work, not progressive

Any chance you can post a 1 second raw file?
Are you sure you aren’t just staring at this too hard?

im positive – i’ve gotten so curious that i tried several clips, and its all the same. I even tried a same as source export qt file of the entire episode into edit to tape, and its outputting perfectly, even with sound.
This happens on both Digibeta and IMX. I rewatched the tape and it is FLAWLESS. Perfect 24p look
Mind you – my sequence settings are 29.97 DV NTSC, the footage is all 29.97 DV NTSC. I am not working with any sort of 24 frames, or progessive setting at all.

Sorry, Jay. I don’t mean this to be mean at all and you seem like a nice person, but I just don’t believe it.
24p can get recorded and edited @ 29.97 and you don’t have to work in progressive either.

no worries – i dont believe it either but it’s true, hence me posting on here asking why it’s happening. I thought it was worth the time posing the question because it is so extraordinary –
thanks anyway. hopefully some sort of explanation exists.
