Re: 1080 24p FCP workflow questions

I agree.

[jordan82] "Could you be so kind as to let me know how I go about removing the advanced pulldown in 5.1.2 (is it the same item in the tools menu that 5.0.4 uses for DVX100 footage?)."

Nope, it's a little different. IN FCP 5.1.2 the P2 workflow got a major makeover. There's no an import window in which you can preview the footage, mark ins and outs, and batch import. All kinds of cool options. There's a preferences button that you check that says something like remove advanced pulldown on import. It's as easy as that. In earlier versions of FCP this feature was busted, but it seems to be fixed now.



[jordan82] "Would you mind giving me a step by step for how you recommend removing pulldown using Cinema Tools?"

Well, the manual explains it pretty succinctly. Do you know how to identify material with 2:3 pulldown? Basically you have to chose the A frame within the cadence and then do your rev telecine.
