Weird Interlacey problem

[Footbaggin] “Just out of curiosity, do you have any idea if this strobing effect could be a result of removing the pulldown at 30fps?”

If the footage was shot on film and transferred to video, and you removed pulldown and dragged into a 23.976 fps comp, then rendered at 29.97 fps with pulldown added back in, you’d have no problems. Other than that, I’m not sure how to answer your question.

[Footbaggin] “What should happen to the video if you do what I’ve done and Remove Pulldown when you don’t need to?”

Then you’d have a 23.976 fps clip running in a 29.97 fps comp. Some of the frames of the footage will be repeated, some will not. It’s generally not a good thing to do.

That makes perfect sense. Thanks. That could very much explain why some of the camera movements appear to STROBE. Thanks for the info.

No worries. You might want to invest in the Creating Motion Graphics books by Trish and Chris Meyer. Good info.
