April 22, 2011 at 6:26 pm in reply to: Reassign different source media file to entire sequence while preserving all edits

Wow, this is an awesome answer Joseph!

[Joseph Owens] “You are correct that a re-edit, at 23.98, with material from which the pulldown has already been removed, is probably the only thing that will fix this”

I still need clarification on one more thing though. If I export an EDL from my 29.97 sequence to a new 23.98 sequence would that get me “close” I am trying right now to do this but keep getting the error “error importing EDL”, I know there are probably a lot of things that could cause that, and EDLs are probably a whole new bag of tricks but that would be good to know if there is any way to transfer the “essence” of the edit to the new sequence even if I have to go and manually look at every single edit and adjust, it would be easier than manually recreating the sequence.

This footage was shot in non-drop frame if that affects anything.

Thanks for your explanation!

Wow, this is nearly identical to the issue I am having!!! See this thread – https://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/8/1130022

There is a quasi solution in that thread but I am having the same hopes as you, but in the end it appears a redit is what would be necessary, if you don’t you won’t be able to output a progressive file for any webclips. Converting to 23.976 via reverse telecine in compressor is the better option. You can also try setting your editing timebase in a new sequence and FCP will remove pulldown but my test clips were stuttery. Read that link above for some ideas.

Thanks for the comment Jeremy, it is comforting!

April 21, 2011 at 8:12 pm in reply to: Sequence settings for Apple ProRes documentation – interlaced, gamma correction, chroma filtering?

Thanks Rafael and good to hear from you again!

So would that explain why that interlace setting doesn’t visibly affect the output?

Here is my scenario, EX3 footage shot in HDV 1080i60, however, it is 23.98 so pulldown was added, when I use a ProRes HQ setting in compressor and do a reverse telecine and set to custom framerate of 23.976 the pulldown gets removed beautifully and I have a non-interlaced file again! But that setting for “interlace” doesn’t affect this output at all and I really don’t know what to select since I have no visible feedback on what works and what doesn’t. I suppose I can leave it to whatever it is set to, but I just like to know what it does so I don’t hit a roadblock later on.

Do you or anyone else know what this should be set to provided the footage I explained above?

HDV is upper field first but what I want in the end is progressive. Is the setting referring to the footage it is working with, and if so the container/wrapper or the essence which is 23.976p or is it referring to what the file is going to be in the end?

One thing I don know is that when this setting is used within FCP and toggled back and forth, it does not mess with render files, which means to me that it shouldn’t affect visible output. Any other setting change in sequence settings forces re-render of the entire timeline.

Good suggestion, the same thing happens in a new sequence with a keyframe slug over a solid color.

Thanks!

So this is normal? If it is then I am fine with it, I just want to make sure I am not doing anything wrong.

Thanks

April 20, 2011 at 10:40 pm in reply to: Copied sequence from 29.97 timebase to 23.98 sequence – FCP is cutting out some frames

Alright, I figure this out and it is fairly easy. (https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:KfIzqvfej50J:discussions.apple.com/click.jspa%3FsearchID%3D-1%26messageID%3D11851723+any+way+to+import+markers+to+fcp&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&source=https://www.google.com)

1. Duplicate the sequence with the markers.
2. Open the duplicate and delete the contents but by dragging and not hitting command + a, this will preserve the markers
3. Once it is empty it will allow you to open sequence settings and change the time base
3. Copy the contents of the sequence and paste them into the empty sequence that has the markers

Okay, one more follow up question based on this issue.

I set DVD chapter markers through all the sequences, I know the timebase is a bit off and the markers can’t copy verbatim but is there a way to get the markers and there names back into the newly formatted sequence?

[Dave LaRonde] “It’s a hard enough lesson to fix this sort of thing one. You’ll have to do it ten times. I doubt you will EVER make this mistake again.”

I fully agree!

Thanks
