[mark pigott] “So, this stutter would be evident on a HD DVD as well; this is what my masters are showing?
(monitored out of a HD DVD and a LG 20LS7D LCD monitor) “Well, I’m fairly certain after looking at the specs of the monitor, its a 1080i monitor in 1080 but a 720 p at 720. So… If you are looking at a 1080p24 HDDVD, you’re going to see stuttering when viewing this on your LG monitor.
[mark pigott] “The workflow is XDCAM 24p, Sony XFer FAM, XDCAM 24p timeline, export as same (self-contained QT)
DVD Studio PRO HD DVD master “Your workflow is fine, its your monitor that’s the issue here. I would suggest if you plan on more projects like this, sell your monitor and purchase one that is 1080p24 capable (if you insist on using a consumer grade monitor). From looking at the Internet, your HDDVD player cost more than your monitor you are showing it on.

This all depends on you Sequence settings. If you selected your Easy Setup to be XDCAM HD 23.97 then you should be edit 23.97. Now, there is pulldown associated with this because we live in a world in the US that uses 60 hz electricity, that means we use NTSC or ATSC settings for 60i or 30p as a standard of video. 24p throws that for a loop hence the pulldown, otherwise, you’ll see this stepping or stuttering you are seeing.
You can output this to a true 24p on export and compression using Compressor. But here’s where the real confusion comes from… You can only watch true 24p on a true 24p monitor and most monitors (including LCD tvs are not true 24p), otherwise you’ll see a stutter as the tv or monitor as it tries to add a pulldown to your DVD that you are watching.
The Sony Transfer Software doesn’t remove the pulldown.
Confusing, isn’t it…
Anyone else wish to elaborate?

Nice footage…
If you only knew how much TV uses equipment like this, it would blow you mind. Technology is absolutely amazing!

I have another development for you, Matt.
I was looking at finding a project for with all the associated images for that project and if I saved them to my desktop or any other location – the scene files worked perfectly. They didn’t ask me to reload the images.
Very strange….
But, if I save to the current location that I have been using, ProAnimator asks me to reload all of the images, including past images that have been replaced.
Ok…. This is getting weird. I guess I need to save all of this to a different location when I get the time to reload all of them.

Sure…
Any of the projects that I have done have been copied from an original project that did this. Its much easier to change a couple of things rather than rebuild.

That’s it… Craig explained it better than I. But any strobing that you are seeing would come from this issue.
Ok… You’re using a 1080p monitor. Does it support 24p? Is you HDDVD player set to progressive output?
Just a thought…

Well…. that answers the question a little better.
Your watching your finished 24p project on a 60i monitor. Any motion will appear “stroby”. That is the translation issue between 24 fps on a 60 fields per second monitor.
Have you viewed your HDDVD on a 1080p monitor? Chances are it will look stunning.

It shouldn’t… but it could make recapture kinda diffucult.
The problem you are having is that the camera is not setup correctly for timecode. You need to set the camera’s timecode to DF or NDF to get consistent timecode. Sony HDV camcorders have this issue, too. But setting the timecode properly solves this issue.
One thing you can do if you have an HDV deck to use is to copy your tape to a new tape (firewire copy) with proper timecode.

Goto your User Preferences – under the General tab. On the right side – “On timecode break:” Set it to Warn After Capture.
This should solve your issue.
