Film Footage Transferred at 1080i Help!
I received my telecine tapes from the lab and started capturing the footage to FCP. The film was transferred in HD on a Spirit to DVCProHD at 1080i 59.97. The footage has some really strange interlacing stuff going on. What I mean is that every 2 or 3 frames there’s a frame that has two fields that aren’t lined up. This is very distracting.
I’ve tried every combination of changing sequence timelines to 23.98, 29.97, 720p, 1080i, de-interlace filter/plug-in, CinemaTools Reverse Telecine, Frame Rate Converter that I can think of. The results are no good. I can get the fields lined up, but then there seems to be duplicate frames.
How can I fix this? Thanks for your help!

That, is 3:2 pulldown. It’s how you need to layoff 23.98 material onto a 29.97 tape format such as DVCPRO HD 1080i. In order to remove those frames, you must digitize in 1080i and use cinema tools to remove the pulldown. Read up on your cinema tools manual on how to do so. Basically, you need to set the timeline marker within Cinema Tools on an A frame and then do the reverse telecine. The manual will help. You will then be working in 23.98 with 23.98 media.
