1st thanks Jeremy for helping me out. I’m at a complete loss.
2nd: Negative. Still pixelates.
What’s also odd is every now and then it actually creates a jitter frame! It’s almost like FCP is assuming you have 30fps with 3:2, so it’s trying to strip a field and the 3:2 frames, but it’s completely missing the cadence. But even with a clip that HAS 3:2, Strobe still screws it up.
I’ve tried everything in 29.97. Uncompressed, DV50, ProRes, Animation codec. I’ve tried 30.0 fps sequences with conformed media.
Give it a whirl yourself. Just grab any 29.97 clip, and put Stobe on it.
We have an Avid upstairs which I’m going to have to us. (that’s what they did the offline edit on). It works fine with it’s Strobe. Now this is going to be a sad day 🙁
