I’ve located Mojave OS in the App Store. After I download it, will it ask me where I want to assign it and will I be able to install it on my external drive? I do NOT want to install it on my main HD which is running Sonoma 14.3.1. After that, I will install Retroactive. FCP 7 is already on that drive in the Application folder.

I used to be able to, prior to Monterey OS. Now, even with a separate partition on my hard drive running Catalina, it doesn’t work.

Yes, the advanced pulldown was automatically removed during Log & Transfer in FCP 7 which is what I got used to. That was my workflow. Then, switch over to FCP X for editing.

It would be great if Apple came up with this feature in an upgrade of FCP X. I’m going to suggest it in FCP Feedback.

That’s a good question but I don’t have it. Do you?

Joe,
My projects and timelines have always been 23.98, progressive. For many years, I shot 24pA with the HVX 200A and cut with FCP 7 with the Log & Transfer taking out the 3:2 pulldown. After converting to FCP X for editing, I continued to use FCP 7 to Log & Transfer my 24pA footage, which I would then import into FCP X. That workflow ended when my 2011 iMac died last spring and I purchased a new iMac (Catalina OS) which would not run FCP 7 or any legacy apps such as DVDSP4. The new iMac would not even boot up off an older OS such as Sierra or El Capitan which I had saved on an external drive. So unless, Apple comes up with a way to have FCP X to remove the pulldown on import, I have no other options.

Joe,
The only way I could get PR422 to convert was to change the speed at the top of the panel from 29.97 to 23.98. When I did, the action was a bit stuttery. I can’t imagine doing this for a bunch of clips prior to editing. I would rather cut at 29.97.

“To do this, import the file to Compressor, add an HD1080p preset, then under the Video tab at right, go to the bottom to Quality>Retiming Quality, and pick “Reverse Telecine”. Then export that file and it should produce a 23.98p result with the advanced pulldown removed, which you can then import to FCPX.
Joe,
I was able to this with HD1080p setting which is a compressed h.264 but in Apple ProRes, the Reverse Telecine setting was grayed out.
-
Thanks, Joe, for such a detailed explanation.

Yes, I did, Jeremy. It doesn’t change the 29.97 clip when dropped in a 23.98 timeline.
Do you me to send you the original 24pA clip?
