Was it as easy as using FCP Tools->DVCPRO HD Frame Rate Converter and selecting remove duplicate frames?

(seems in the test area I scrolled through, as I go frame by frame through the 23.98 one and the 59.94 one that the movement follows and the duplicate frames were taken out).

(whereas if I conform it to 23.98 in cinema tools it gives me that slow mo feel – which I guess is what the 59.94 is for?)

(still need help on the Tiff sequencing if this is true)

Thanks!

I just wanted to add that I imported the footage into an avid project set at 720p59.94 to test out the tiff sequencing and I have a 3mg tiff but the colors seem a little duller.

and now I’ve completely confused myself – looking at the quicktime final cut made it seems the size is 1248×702 – so is this the size I should be exporting the footage?

(ok now when I export the avid at 1248×702 I get a 5meg file that seems to have the same coloring as the QT file, perhaps slightly duller, but not as dull as at 960×540) (rgb mode uncompressed Tiff file from avid export)

Thanks in advance!!!

Is there a way to tell in the file?
the only info I see DVCPRO HD (720p60)

Other question –
when I was experimenting with TIFF sequences in final cut I was getting a file size that was less than 1mb large, where as if I did a single tiff image it was 2.3mb (where as my 1920×1080 HD footage is 11mgs). Also it seemed like the color may have changed a bit.

finally – I know the size is 960×720 but for the true 16×9 corrected aspect I need them to be 960×540 – the only way I can do this it seems is physically changing this in compressor – which means I can’t do a quick time conversion in final cut to make the tiff sequence (as that comes out in the 4:3 format – but is one step less than doing it inc compressor). But wither way I am still getting a tiny tiff sequence.

Thanks for the help!

Sorry – I just wanted to add that I am using final cut 6.04 – so not sure if this will work with other versions – but I’m thinking it may!

You will be happy to find that I have found a solution – yeah!!!!
OK so using this article – 121528u20517360894009470
I found that if you paste the markers (via using the XML files) in both source clips and then create the multiclip, that the markers will stay no matter what angle you choose!!!
yeah!!!
(this was after a lot of trial and error!)

Hope this works for you – and thanks for the posts!
