reverse telecine — compressor/Cinema tools both leave interlacing
Hi — I am working with footage that looks like it has a 2:3 pulldown cadence.
good frame, good frame, bad frame, bad frame, good frame.
Tried Compressor’s reverse telecine, also Cinema Tools reverse telecine.
Both produce a new file that still leaves one bad interlaced frame.What’s going on???Thx!

I’d stick with compressor. It’s easier.
You are using the “reverse telecine” setting in compressor right?
What format is the original footage? SD or HD?
-
Thanks. Yes I would prefer to stay with Compressor too. Yes I am using the ‘reverse telecine’ option within compressor’s deinterlace settings. The footage is SD.

And this is footage direct from capture scratch?
If so, make sure to single click on the clip thumbnail of compressor and in the a/v properties tab (I think that’s what it’s called, not by the computer) make sure that your source clip has a field Dom of lower.
Hard to explain, easy to show. Hope it helps.

Yes the source footage has a native field dominance of ‘lower.’ Not sure why this would matter?
-
Sometimes compressor guesses wrong and it doesn’t process correctly. You chose lower field in the a/v properties of compressor?
Did you capture this footage? Is it an export from the timeline or is this footage right out of the capture scratch?
-
Yes it is footage straight from the capture scratch. Captured it from the DVX100 @ 24p.
-
And is it one long capture? Meaning is the cadence broken at any point?
-
Correct the cadence is not broken
-
I use this feature a lot and it works.
Are you sure the footage is 24p and not 24pA?
-
Yes pretty sure. But either way, I have a file in front of me with a pretty obvious cadence that is unbroken. good good bad bad good
Shouldn’t Compressor be able to handle this?
What other options are there in Compressor — what could possibly lead to one interlaced frame remaining?
