Simple (?!?) DVX100 Pulldown question

[Aryn Leigh]

Hi there—

A producer friend of mine is working on a documentary, that was largely shot in DVX100 29.97 pulldown.
A while back, she digitized everything in FCP7 and did NOT remove the pulldown.

there is a function in FCP where you can remove pulldown post-capture, but it is now giving us a host of buggy problems.

Is there a similar function in Premiere where we can remove pulldown as well?

Thanks in advance!!

purely guessing…

Have you tried a clip in PPro?

and check the interpret settings for the clip prior to dropping it in a sequence to see what’s available….

Ah, but of course~

Yes, there is a “remove 24p pulldown” option right there in the “interpret clip” settings. That simple, huh?

Fancy! Thank you Alex :0)

I also see that there is an option to interpret the footage as progressive instead of the recorded NTSC interlaced. Since I’ll be editing on a 1080p timeline, I’m guessing that this is a good way to go. Is there an advantage to interpreting the footage as progressive in the “modify clip” options, before editing, as opposed to just rendering it out in the progressive timeline?

(All of the DV footage will eventually be onlined.)

Thank you again.
