Pull It Down
Tuesday, February 26, 2008 Filed in: Weekly Tip
Are you a 24p addict
just like us? Don’t worry, there is nothing to be
ashamed of! Some cameras, like Panasonic’s Varicam
can record 24p (really 23.98) within a 720p60
signal. It does this by duplicating frames. To get
back to 24p you can remove what is known as
Advanced Pulldown to get the footage back to 24fps.
You can do this on capture from a FireWire source
(like Panasonic’s AJ HD1400).
Ahhh, 24p! Love it!
Like this tip? It comes from the book
Final Cut Studio On the Spot from Focal Press.
- Open your capture presets (Final Cut Pro > Audio Video Settings and choose the Capture Presets tab) and select a DVCPRO HD preset to edit.
- Make sure the Remove Advanced Pulldown and/or Duplicate Frames from Firewire sources is checked.
- If you forgot
to do this you can always remove the duplicate
frames after the fact. Select your clip in the
Timeline and choose Tools > Remove Advanced
Pulldown.
Ahhh, 24p! Love it!
