Re-introducting Pulldown when Printing to Tape
I have a feature length film shot in 24pa on the DVX. We removed the pulldown while digitizing and from what I understand, when printing back to tape (DVCAM) we need to reintroduce the pulldown.
From what I understand FCP does this for you when printing to tape, however, when I start to print to tape, frames are being dropped. I believe this is beacuse I am running all my footage from an external hard drive, and because my computer can’t proccess fast enough.
I have been told that I can export a lossless quicktime file out of FCP and re-introduce the pulldown in After Effects- then bring it back into FCP and then hopefully, I won’t have any problems printing to tape from there.
Has anyone had any experience with this? Thanks

The problem with that is that DV is a very lossy video codec, and by going into After Effects and then back to FCP, you will lose a generation and it will take a major hit and be noticable in some scenes. So I would try to make it work in FCP.
You should post your system specs.
