Thats actually what I have been doing…but if that says 23.976 does that mean it removed the pulldown and I’m all set? If so, that means that I am importing already pulled down footage into after effects, why is the footage so terrible in AE while its perfectly fine in FCP?

Hi, thanks for the response, I really appreciate these very knowledgeable responses and yes I meant “CAPTURE”, for some reason in find myself sometimes saying import when I mean capture and I do understand the difference but i’ll try to stop myself from doing that.

But basically you’re saying that I need to log each clip individually in order for them to come out correctly? This is something that I usually do anyway except that right now I have so much footage (over 3 hours) that I have to capture, edit, and include some after effects within a couple weeks. Also is there any way to find out of it did not remove the pulldown other than the look of the footage…if it still says 23.976 in the properties?

Hey, thanks for the response…when I imported the footage into FCP I already removed the pulldown and the footage is now at 23.976….and when I import it into AE Drag it to the make new comp button and it still has these strange blurry frames that are not there in the original footage… It might have to do with the field tho…I thought since its 24p that there is no field order…what should I chose for field order?

First of all, I appreciate the response greatly. We did continue to film our next location in 24pA and I’m pretty happy with the results.

Secondly, Yes i understand that 60p is needed to translate into 24p and become 40% speed however, since I don’t have a 60p capable camera at my disposal, I have read a lot of posts that describe how you can de-interlace 60i footage (with a fairly noticeable loss in quality) creating a 60p like shot and then put it into a 24p timeline and create the slow motion there. I do understand the method, but I am yet to be able to implement it…if someone knows the explicit steps to doing this that would be greatly appreciated(at what fps do i capture the 60i footage? etc.). Im planning on using this technique for my film thesis and for that I believe i will have access to an HD camera capable of 60p yet I need to do test shots with the DVX in 60i.

Thanks again
