HELP!! My Canon XL2 24p and Final Cut are driving me crazy!!!!
I shot some footage on my Canon XL2 using 24p with “normal” 2:3 pulldown.
In Final Cut Pro, I went through and logged my tape with no problems – timecode was fine, I set my ins & outs, logged clips, and device control worked perfectly. This is why I dont think the tape is bad.
However, when I attempt to actually capture my footage, only 2 or 3 seconds after a clip has begun capturing, the image will freeze in the desktop preview as it plays normally on my camera. this happens repeatedly throughout the clip. I end up with a captured clip where the image will freeze and suddenly jerk back to normal, then repeat the process over and over.
I looked up all sorts of stuff on the internet and cant find anyone who’s had this precise problem. I dont think its my capture settings, because I have used the standard NTSC settings as I understand I’m supposed to do when I filmed with normal pulldown. I even tried using the 23.98p setup just to try it, but that doesnt work either.
Anyone out there who has had this issue and hopefully resolved it?
