Re: "A" Frames and what to do now

Charles,

There's a ton of important information you've left out. Don't think anyone can help you without knowing certain things.

1. What frame rate was your source footage originally shot on?
2. What frame rate was it converted to when you captured it? The DV footage is probably 29.97. So if it was shot on film, then some form of pulldown was added. There are different types and you'll have to identify what it is. It could be 24pA "Advanced Pulldown" which if it is then you're very lucky because it would be very easy to convert that footage back to 23.98.
3. What format is your sequence?
4. Are you mixing different frame rates in the same sequence? Note, I'm not talking about the frame rate FCP thinks it is. I'm talking about the original frame rate the footage was shot on.
5. What format are you delivering on? Film, tape?
6. How is this going to be shown? Broadcast, DVD, web, theatrical?
7. Are you using this online facility to re-assemble your footage, or are they just color grading it?

Sean
