When you go to batch capture just add 2 seconds of handles and you should be good to go.

Thanks again, Graeme. 60i it is, and I might lean to 1/120th for shutter speed (I kinda like that look). Reality is about 80% of the footage is going to be slowed down, so I’m happy taking my chances at 60i.
The reason I asked about flags over SDI is that the only deck I have doesn’t have the FW option, and I can’t rent since I blew all the rental $$ on the SDX900s. If I have time I might do a little test over SDI and post the results.Andrew

Graeme, if we ever meet I owe you a beer (or ten) — you always give great insight. But, now I’m left with more questions:
Until I get into the edit, I won’t know which footage I need to slow down and which I want to keep full speed (this is a live event capture, so we’re not sure what we’re going to get). 80% is not slow enough for what we want to do, so 40% sounds better. Would you recommend running all the cameras at 60i with a 1/60th or 1/120th shutter and then conforming to 23.98? What about the footage we shoot at 60i that we want to play full speed? How should we conform that? I’m planning to master to DVCPro50 for playback on LED screens.
Also, I’m planning to capture over SDI and not FW — will I lose my flag information that way? Or do I just need to make sure my capture settings are correct?
Thanks again.Andrew

Thanks for the quick response, Graeme — I really appreciate the fact that you’re so willing to answer questions about your awesome set of plugins.
Anyway, I’m just planning to put this clip on a DVD to be shown thru a projector on a screen — nothing fancy.
It sounds like what I should be doing is adding the film effect minus the pulldown (would that mean I set my “Film Frames per Second” to 30fps?), and then adding the pulldown in the Standards Convertor? If I do it this way, I would use the “24p Material” option in Compressor, correct?
And just to re-confirm the answer to my original question, if I do choose to add the 24p effect in the Film Effects plugin, I should compress it as if it is normal 29.97 NTSC footage, correct?
Thanks again!Andrew
