Ran a test a little while ago and the final result was identical to what our UFC used to produce. Client has been happy with that for 3 years, so they should be ok with this.
Just in case, though, what compressor settings are used to make the “better” interpolation?
PS: The transcode to ProRes takes 2.5x realtime and then reverse telecine takes 1x realtime.

I think I’m going to send all files I get from ancillary sources through Compressor to make them ProRes first. Then, if they’re at 23.98, I can just use those. If they’re at 29.97, I’ll use Cinema Tools’ Reverse Telecine option to make them 23.98. Time consuming, but I can batch everything so it can run in the background and I can do other things.

Last time I tried that I trashed all my presets. I’ll try Preference Manager, but the IT Dept is very strict as to what I can install.

I was afraid of that. Ok, I think I can get away with exporting self-contained files and then deleting them after I make my DVD files, since I can always make the sequence movies again later if I wanted by re-exporting.
However, it still doesn’t address FCP01’s glitch of not framing the video correctly despite the settings for padding being identical to the other two machines. Thoughts?

I deal with 8-10 50+ minute sequences every night. It would take way too long to export anything self-contained. And since this is 1080p footage, I’d run out of space VERY fast.
