FCP and Standard 2:3 Pulldown Removal
Please, I beg you, correct me and tell me I am wrong… because I just can’t believe that after five versions and years of software development, Final Cut Pro can NOT remove a standard 2:3 pulldown on capture via Firewire! I want to believe… I want to worship the fruit with the bite missing, but this is unfathomable.
Yes, I know that it can remove 24Pa (Advanced 2:3:3:2) pulldown. But not 2:3 Standard run-of-the-mill billions-of-feet-of-film-have-been-transferred-to-tape-using-standard-pulldown pulldown. How can this be? How is Apple allowed to release software that is incapable of such a common feature found in other editing software? Why has the government not sued Apple for this breach of common sense?
Cinema Tools? You really think I have the patience and time to convert 33 hours of DVCPRO50 footage by running it through cinema tools? This is seriously considered to be a solution? The Apple web page simply says that FCP provides the “tools” to remove pulldown. Marketing hogwash. If iTunes came with one program to search for, download and pay for music and another separate program to decode encrypted Polka Music for playback, do you think anyone would own an iPod? (Please don’t answer that, it is a rhetorical question to make an analogy)
Sorry, I’m a little iTicked-off on this one as it has serious budget repercussions for me.

The only way to remove 2:3:2:3 is Cinema Tools. FCP can only remove 2:3:3:2 (Advanced pulldown) during capture.

you are incorrect-you just did not load all of the available easy set ups that ship on the disk.
FCP has been doing this since FCP4. Unfortunately for you the are not part of the default install. Got to the “additional Easy Setups” folder in your Applications folder and you will see presets for
Cinema Tools – 23.98fps from DV NTSC.fcpre
Cinema Tools – 23.98fps from DV PAL.fcpre
Cinema Tools – 24fps from DV NTSC.fcpre
Cinema Tools – 24fps from DV PAL.fcpre
