Chris –

So I wrote, and Peter Garaway reposted in the CC thread, this response:

“This is intentional. DV 24p really is 29.97 fps, not 23.976. Or rather, it’s both. 3:2 or 2:3:3:2 (Premiere/AME does the latter) pulldown is added to bring the 23.976fps material up to 29.97. Advanced programs like Premiere, After Effects, AME, etc can detect and optionally remove the pulldown, turning the material back into 24 fps progressive video. In Premiere/AME, you can keep or remove the pulldown in the Interpret Footage dialog using the “Remove 24p DV Pulldown” checkbox. If the box is checked, the material will be interpreted as progressive 23.976. Simpler programs such as QuickTime Player that don’t understand 24p pulldown will interpret the material as 29.97.”

To which you replied:

“Thanks for the info, but there are times that us folks require it to
show itself as 23.98 pulldown or no.

A very big community like Pro-Tools users, NEEDS this feature
for 23.98 native sessions with picture.

LOTS of us have dv boxes plugged in via firewire to our Pro Tools systems to send picture
to a monitor. The DV file must match the pro tools session.

This is important. Currently only apple compressor can do it correctly.

I’d still like AME to do it….at the very least there *should* be
an option to enable/disable the pull down to get 23.98”

I don’t understand this workflow. Why do you need malformed SD DV to make your solution work? Also I’m surprised that your DV box will accept 23.976 DV files; what hardware are you using? And why does it matter to ProTools? Help me out here, I want to understand.
Thanks,
Nick

Chris, I don’t understand your workflow but would like to not hijack this thread. Can we take this back to your original CC complaint here? https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/351/533 ? Tell me more about what it is you’re doing.
