Speed altered clips can be the most difficult and buggy part of an online.
I am often forced to manually re-capture off speed clips when re-conforming to tape. One trick that makes this a little easier, is to make a reference movie of the original offline edit, with the Timecode reader plug-in added to every clip in the sequence. Then I can tell what my ins and outs should be for capturing tape, and if my speed settings equal the space I need to fill.

in reply to: pal 24.98???
[Michael Gissing] “No such thing. PAL is 25 solid (thank goodness). I am wondering if you had the deck settings right when capturing.”
I did triple check my Capture settings and I tried another PAL tape which worked just fine. I know that there is no official 25 frame pulldown. I have reason to believe that there is something going on with the Ukon that might be creating just that (that it is a better target to go from 29.97 to 24.98 than a proper 25). It did look really great.
