Sequence Settings For DVX100
Please can someone tell me what my sequence settings should be when I capture and edit from my DVX100 when I shoot in the 24p mode (Not 24 PA)
I have a shot of someone throwing something and I want to freeze frame on it mid – air and on the freeze frame the fields are jumping – I thought this camera shot in Progressive scan so you did not have that issue – what setting should I have to avoid this?
thanks

Perhaps changing your sequence “Filed Dominance” to “NONE”. Otherwise I reckon FCP will go into field-land with your footage as soon as a render has to be done.

I tried that – it still flickers! Any more help?
Thanks

Alright… Are you shooting in 24 or 25P? This did the trick for me, but I’ve shot in 25P here in PAL-LAND.

Joseph,
24p is still interlaced, the pulldown is added as the camera records to 29.97. I believe you would have to shoot in 24pa and do an advanced pulldown removal to get what you want. But, you can also take your still into Photoshop and remove the extra fields with the deinterlace filter.

Thanks – that explains things – so how do I export a still frame as a PS file?

Joseph,
Put your playhead on the frame you want and go to export>QuickTime Conversion>still image, and select a render format. Open that file in Photoshop and de-interlace.
