I think I can go to the library –> show package contents –>Original media–> grab the file from there?

You can also select the clip in FCP X and hit shift-cmd-R in the event.

Got it, will try tomorrow.

[Eric Santos]

Thanks.

I took a try myself at it but must be missing something in Compressor, I used DVCPRO HD 1080p30/24 with 23.976 and retiming quality of Reverse Telecine. The resultant file is smaller(337MB, original 426MB) when imported to fcpx it reads properly in the inspector(23.976p) but plays back interlaced like the original 24p/29.97

[Darren Roark]

For whatever reason Compressor isn’t detecting the correct reverse telecine cadence so it’s not working properly.

Cinema tools could deinterlace it fine but something was odd about the frame blurring. Every fourth or fifth frame of your subject walking to the door had a double motion blur even though it was a solid frame.

There were no interlaced fields so it looks like it was from how it was shot.

Something could be awry with the shutter angle setting on that camera or it’s from not having the advanced setting enabled. I haven’t had an HVX for a long time so I can’t remember what could cause that.

If you have FCS 3 laying around you can batch reverse telecine in cinema tools. I made an earlier comment that you don’t want to use the Cinema Tools processed clips in FCP X but that’s only for conformed clips not rev telecine.

Thanks for taking a look, just checked the shutter and it got changed to 1/24.

Lesson learned, verify your settings BEFORE you start shooting.

Just going to use it as is and chalk it up to rookie mistake.

Thanks again for your time
