reverse telecine – compressor vs. cinema tools
I am getting footage shot on Panasonic HVX200 with P2 cards. They are shooting 1080 24p. When I import the footage in to FCP7 via log and transfer it comes in as 1280×1080 DVCPRO HD @ 29.97.
After importing the footage I wish to transcode the footage to my editing format which is 1920×1080 ProRes422 24p, and this is where my question arises.
I have tried 2 different workflows:
– using compressor to both reverse telecine the DVCPRO 29.97 footage, and scale to 1920×1080 ProRes422 24p in one pass. Unfortunately this process appears to have cadence issues as the footage is jerky and I get weird interlace artifacts.
– using Cinema Tools to batch reverse telecine the footage first, and then using compressor to transcode to 1920×1080 ProRes422 24p. This process works fine but unfortunely it is a 2 stage process and not very efficient. As well, I can only reverse telecine in Cinema Tools one footage folder at a time – a cumbersome babysitting ordeal.
So here is my question;
Is there any way I can adjust the reverse telecine setting so compressor can correctly interpret the footage so I can set up a droplet and use cluster to do all transcoding in one pass?Thanks
