Help!!! – Exporting 24 DV footage from PPro1.5
Hey everyone,
I really hope someone can help me out with this as I feel like I’ve tried everything.
I know how helpful people on this forum are, so I thank anyone wasting their time helping.
I have a documentary shot on the Canon XL-2 in 24p mode, stock settings pretty sure it wasnt 24p advanced.Anyways, I captured everything using the 24p timeline and cut the whole thing, looks great.
The problem is when I render the files out. Everything plays PERFECT from the timeline, through my dvdeck out to a moniter. It’s when I render, the video is SOOOO flickery. It is obviously something to do with an improper pulldown or pullup, I’m a bit lost when dealing with those. I have tried both exporting to a 23.976 file and to an NTSC one … progressive and lowerfield first for both of them … both yield the same results.I had a little success with this problem for a different job where I was forced to hit ‘recompress’ in order to get rid of any flicker, becuase I noticed and shots with supers that required rendering, didn’t have the flicker, but all shots that were not recompressed had a disgusting amount of flicker when played back on a DV timeline out to tape, or when put to DVD.
For this specific project I am trying to go out to DVD through encore, perhaps it could be my settings there.
Thanks for your help and suggestions.

What are your project settings? Project menu > Project Settings > General. Did you choose a 24P project preset before starting?

Thanks for responding,
Yes I chose a 24p timeline when I started the project by choosing the preset “pannasonic 24p widescreen”
Thanks for the help.

Hi Mike,
What were the settings when you exported the video? Did you export to an AVI file or burn a dvd from the timeline? It almost sounds like there is something up with the output settings. Make sure that you have chosen a interlaced output even though the source material is progressive (if this is going to be played back on regular interlaced tv). Unless you have a DVD player that supports progressive scan there will be a massivly annoying jitter.

Thanks for responding,
I tried every different setting it seems.. but to recap.
My timeline is a 24p timeline (the pannasonic 24p preset in PPro 1.5)
I captured all the footage straight from the Xl-2.
All the files register as 23.976 and they all play back beautifuly from the timeline or in explorer.When I render, I tried rendering both to DV24p and to NTSC … both yield crappy results.
I’ve also tried progressive and lower field for both. I’m not sure if the ‘optimize stills’ checkbox makes a difference?Here is an example of the crappy jitter
https://www.pymproductions.com/videos/soup.htmlThis clip was rendered to a 29.97 NTSC file, lower field first. Sadly it looks better then the 24 one.
Should I be rendering out to a 24p one?
thanks guys.

i guess no one else has any ideas?
I found a way to get a working render. If I render out to 29.97 , lower field, and ‘recompress always’ then the results plays back great. But that’s BS that i have re-render all video even if its unaltered.
Any ideas why it’s like that?

looks like from ur earlier post, it wasnt 24p advanced, and if not, then its still ntsc but shot to look ‘like’ 24p. so, premiere was probably unhappy rendering out non – 24p (or ntsc set up in a way which can be reassembed to 24p, which premiere does under the hood) to a 24p clip.
