Hey man, my name is Xander. I’m having a different kind of problem, but let’s start with a question regarding the forum post that I’m responding to:

So let me understand this now; you’re saying that when I shoot 24pa on my DVX, that in my capture window, I should select the “Firewire NTSC NDF” and select the “NTSC 48 Remove Advanced Pulldown 2:3:3:2”? You said the FPS should be set to 29.97, but is that in my timeline/sequence, or in like my easy set-up, or in my AV settings, or what? If I do all this correctly, should the clips show up in my FCP browser as 23.98 clips, or 29.97 clips?

Alright, here’s the other problem I’m facing… Basically, not all of the FCP codecs and settings are available. Just one day, all of the sudden, the options just disappeared! Now in my Capture settings/presets, my Sequence settings/presets, and my Device control settings/presets, there are only about 12 settings to choose from, where there are usually like 60 to choose from in my Sequence Presets for example! And in my Capture Presets, the NTSC Remove Pulldown option is gone… I can manually change my sequence settings by manually going to the sequence drop-down menu and clicking “settings”, but this doesn’t help me capture the footage properly… What is going on??? I’ve trashed my preferences, I’ve restarted, blah, blah, blah.
