Film to PAL to NTSC worflow
I looked but couldn’t find an easy solution:
I have a PAL telecine (2:2:2:2:2:2:2:2:2:2:2:2:3 pulldown) clip, that I need to cut down and then convert to NTSC.
I couldn’t find a tool to remove the pulldown.
@Nattress: I think I would need a PAL+1 -> 24p variant of your G Film Converter.
Is there an easy way? Divide the fields, throw out every 13th field and recombine fields? Scripting in shake?
Help appreciated,

Sorry guys. I didn’t really think tooo hard here.
Though it’s not the ultimate quality:
I can just edit the PAL material in a PAL timeline and then convert to NTSC. “Judder frames” will remain, but should translate well into NTSC.Let’s see…

Who has delivered such a crappy telecine to you? That’s not the way we do it here in Europe. We speed up film from 24fps to 25fps and transfer without any judder frames. Looks smooth and clean, but that’s why “Titanic” is a few minutes shorter here on TV than in cinema

Ok guys. That was not what was asked for.
The transfer was done in Hamburg, Germany, Europe. This is an almost 10 year old transfer. It’s a Musical. They did NOT WANT the speed up.
I have to make a (NTSC-) trailer from it. This is the only available material.
I’ll live with the “judder frames”. But for future reference, it would be cool to have a solution.So I’ll try the shake forum, maybe some scripting can help.
Thnx anyways,

Hi Dave,
Thanks for your time.
It doesn’t seem to be easy in FCP. And there don’t seem to be many editors doing this.
Oh, and I don’t want the 24fps to play at 25fps. I want to get back to the 24fps original. Then edit in 24fps. Then conform to 23.98fps. Then resize/add pulldown to get NTSC version.
Will let you know, when I have found something.
Your support is appreciated.

I’m very sorry to report this, but in the quite professional German forum at http://www.finalcutpro.de one editor had the same problem recently and nobody was able to offer a solution.
