Hi Dave, thanks for the response.

I’m talking about individual clips shot at 24p. I need to convert them before I edit because I need to work with them in a 23.98 timeline intercut with ProRes 23.98 footage. I did not shoot or capture the footage but I was told it was shot at 24p and the quicktimes that were given to me are at 29.97 so I assume they were captured using the DV NTSC preset.

Since posting I have noticed that some of the clips I run through Compressor actually come out looking smooth and others do not. When scrolling frame by frame through the original clips that generate a smooth result I can identify the two out of every five frames that are interlaced. When doing the same with the original clips that generate the completely interlaced result, every frame looks interlaced. Does this suggest that the original clips might have been shot in both 24p and 24pA by accident and captured all using the DV NTSC preset? Would capturing 24pA in this way have resulted in a completely interlaced clip? Sorry for the backwards logic, I’m trying to figure out if I’m going to need to rustle up the original tapes and do a complete recapture or not.

Thanks,

Tory
