Online workflow for 1080 24p (not pA) in Final Cut / Kona3
I am about to online a feature doc that was shot on the HDX 900, and I want to end up with a 23.98 timeline, and then i will grade in Color.
It was shot with the HDX 900 @ 1080 24p (not pA) NDF.
The film was offlined at 29.97, dvcproHD (some footage was transcoded to prores on ingest).
We now want to online and create a 23.98 timeline and master.From what I have uncovered, to easily capture to 23.98, the Film should have been shot at 24pA so that fcp could easily remove the pulldown on ingest.
(we are using a kona 3 and fcp 7).
With the 24p format, what are my options for getting 23.98? The only one I have discovered so far is reverse telecine via cinema tools. But it seems we need to find a method for easily indicating the cadence. What is the best system for doing this?
Alternately, is there any way to batch capture from tape to 23.98 from this format?In short – what is the best approach?
1. recapture media managed footage at 23.98 ( how would I identify the A frames on a batch recapture??)
2. reverse telecine to 23.98 using cinema tools. (how would I identify the cadence to reliably batch this way?).
Either method seems to have issues. Please tell me there is a foolproof way to do this!Any thoughts on best workflow much appreciated.
Cheers,

I dont think there is a 24 PA choice on the HDX900… I always thought the 24p with the HDX was 23.98..
