Hvx 1080p or 1080/24pA pulldown removal
Can anyone help me with a problem I’m having?
Here’s the breakdown:1. I directed a commercial which was shot on the Hvx and firestore fs-100. The dp said he shot in 1080 and 24fps. Also, he had the footage recorded into quiktimes instead of P2.
2. I am editing the footage, and have had some experience with pulldown removals. I imported the footage into the Last version of FCP before the new FCP studio 2, which just came out. The footage was in the 108060i DVC ProHD codec @ 29.97 for the frame rate. There was no option to reverse telecine (2:3 pulldown) the footage in FCP or Cinema Tools. So, I assumed that the Footage was shot using the 1080/24pA mode, which uses the advanced pulldown (2:3:3:2) And sure enough final cut would remove the advance pull down making the footage 23.98 (Cinema Tools, however, had no options)
3. Upon examining the closer 23.98 footage, I noticed a problem. There was still interlacing.
4. I have now compared the original 29.97 footage and the advanced removed 23.98. The 29.97 has three frames of progessive then two interlaced frames. 23.98 has a cadence of three progressive frames, then one interlaced.
Conclusion: The DP nor myself knows whether he shot in the 1080p (24 over 60i) hvx mode or the 1080/24pA mode (24 with advance pulldown over 60i). Do you have any suggestions?
