Sorry I was not clear. All of the tapes have been captured already and 3 are 23.98 and 7 are 59.94. Although there has been an interesting development. I’ll do my best to say this clearly.

I captured the tail end of a tape that I had missed due to a timecode break (sloppy I know). The original tape was captured with an AJ-HD1400 that was hooked into the iMac’s firewire, while the external drive was hooked up to a USB. The deck settings 720p and the framerate was 59.94 and FCP was set up to the DVCPro HD 720p24 Easy Setup. It was captured as 720p60 (59.94 fps). I chalked this up to the camera crew. Today, when I captured that last section of this tape using the same deck settings and FCP easy setup, it was captured at 720p24 (23.98 fps). The only thing that I changed was that I captured straight to the iMac’s HD through the firewire (taking advice that I had gotten here).

Hopefully I have been clear. Anyway, I’m trying to figure out why the pulldown wasn’t done when I first captured the tape. My theory is that it has something to do with the fact that the first time the scratch disk was connected with a USB, which might have interfered with Final Cut doing the pulldown. Can someone either confirm or offer another explanation as to why that is?

Thank you

The “reduce noise” process in Soundtrack Pro works pretty well.

Here’s a basic tutorial:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vyMc5vOh20&feature=related

You’ll need to play around with the controls a bit in order to get it sounding right. If it’s up too much the noise starts to sound like it’s underwater. If you search the soundtrack pro for reduce noise or even google reduce noise I’m sure you can find more detailed tutorials as well.

I don’t know about ProTools or any of the other audio programs, but I’m sure someone else can help you out there.

Thanks for all of the help. I’m going to look into another workflow for the next time we do a project like this. If you have any tips I’m all ears.

In the meantime, I was able to render the whole clip as a QT movie and that seems to have worked.

Thanks again!
Scott
