  • editing 24p regular footage on 23.98 sequence

    Posted by Joe Editor on December 8, 2006 at 1:20 am

    i shot a bunch of footage on 24p Advanced (with the dvx100a), and am editing on a 23.98 sequence.
    however, somehow on one of the tapes, it got switched to 24p regular mode. therefore the footage comes out 29.97.
    i tried to conform the footage to 23.98 using cinema tools but it looks pretty “stuttery” when i drop it into my 23.98 seq.
    am i in trouble, or is there any way to fix that?
    thanks so much for your help.

    Did you really conform to 23.98 or 24 fps? If 24, you need to conform to 23.98 for sure… see page 212 of the cinema tools online manual… do exactly as they suggest there.

    24p footage at 29.97 needs a “reverse tele-cine” not a conform.
    Try that and see if that works.

    You are OK. You just need to bring the 24p Standard pulldown material to Cinema Tools to be pulldwon.

    FYI – 24p Advance and 24p Standard are both running at 23.976p with DVX100.

    To add – removing pulldown from 24p Standard and 24p Advance will be result a 23.976p footage.
    You just can’t remove pulldown via firewire with 24p Standard with FCP. It has to be done with Cinema Tools.
