how to simulate 24p?
I am shooting a documentary and I am using a DSR500ws DVCAM camera. It is a native widescreen cam that shoots 29.97 fps. What is the best way to simulate 24p in post?
I use FCP5, Motion and After Effects 6.5.I may be willing to purchase a 3rd party prog/plugin if necessary…I just want it to look as much like film as possible without the high cost of shooting film or renting a 24p camera.
Thanks,

You can take your footage into AFX and simply import it into a DV/NTSC 23.98 FPS sequence. Export that sequence through the render queue as normal, but under render settings turn on “Field Render:” to lower I believe, then set your 3:2 pulldown. If you’re converting all the footage from 29.97, the specific pulldown setting isn’t as important just as long as you keep it consistent in all your exports. Then set your Frame Rate to “use this frame rate: 29.97. This should give you a 24p effect. I haven’t done it in a while so I’m positive, but you might be able to just use an initial 29.97 sequence in the beginning step, but regardless this way should work for your.
good luck,
