URGENT! FCP 24p problem…
Ok, this is the score. Because this isn’t my project I can’t give too many specifics… but, I’m trying to help a buddy out. And, I have NO experience with 24p post.
This is what I know… all the footage for this doc was shot on a DVX100a in 24p. Don’t know if it was advanced pull-down or not.
All footage was captured as 29.97 with no pulldown removal at all. The project was edited in FCPHD on a 29.97 sequence timeline.Problem is, obviously there are those interlaced frames that pop up and look quite nasty when projected. Is there an “easy” way to take the finished/edited 29.97 FCP project and remove the interlaced frames without messing up the audio sync, etc.? Without having to recapture all the sources with pulldown removal?
Second problem.. my friends are outputting to DVD for initial screening and using IDVD (no one knows how to use DVDStudio Pro)… but on playback the footage chokes and freezes. Does this have something to do with the pulldown problem? Or, is not really capable of handling a 30min project with animated stills, etc.? They are working on a new MacBookPro and FCPHD.. source footage is all on 2 external FW drives and the project file is on one of those external drives. Could this be the problem?
The reason this is urgent is that this “work in progress” is supposed to screen tomorrow at a high profile art happening, and they’re in over their heads. They had a test screening this morning that evidently didn’t go very well. They called me for advice, but I’ve never done any 24p at all.. let alone output 24p projects to DVD.
Any help at all would me MUCH appreciated.
Thanks!

Since they don’t have much time, I would suggest dumping this project onto a powerbook or macbook pro and simply projecting from that straight out of fcp.
best regards,
