Thanks for your reply Robert.

However, two things I should clarify again. First of all, the footage was recorded as quicktimes not p2 mxf. files. The result is 29.97 quicktimes in the 1080 60i dvcprohd codec. Secondly, I have imported this clips into FCP and already removed the advanced pulldown, but still have New, different interlacing issues.

I guess I’ll have to see FCP Studio 2, which I’ll have acces to next week, will yeild better results.

Robert, or if anyone else has any ideas, I appreciate comments.

thanks.

Hi Steve,

I came across this thread when I was trying to do research in order to solve a problem I am having. Here’s the breakdown:

1. I directed a commercial which was shot on the Hvx and firestore fs-100. The dp said he shot in 1080 and 24fps. Also, he had the footage recorded into quiktimes instead of P2.

2. I am editing the footage, and have had some experience with pulldown removals. I imported the footage into the Last version of FCP before the new FCP studio 2, which just came out. The footage was in the 108060i DVC ProHD codec @ 29.97 for the frame rate. There was no option to reverse telecine (2:3 pulldown) the footage in FCP or Cinema Tools. So, I assumed that the Footage was shot using the 1080/24pA mode, which uses the advanced pulldown (2:3:3:2) And sure enough final cut would remove the advance pull down making the footage 23.98 (Cinema Tools, however, had no options)

3. Upon examining the closer 23.98 footage, I noticed a problem. There was still interlacing.

4. I have now compared the original 29.97 footage and the advanced removed 23.98. The 29.97 has three frames of progessive then two interlaced frames. 23.98 has a cadence of three progressive frames, then one interlaced.

Conclusion: The DP nor myself knows whether he shot in the 1080p (24 over 60i) hvx mode or the 1080/24pA mode (24 with advance pulldown over 60i). Do you have any suggestions?
