Capturing real 24p or not?

[urbanfx]

I know Avid cant export real 24p without Mojo.. but I head it cant capture real 24p either?

I mean if I dont capture with mojo and export with mojo.. do I lose quality and frames etc???

can someone help me out? btw when I export with sorenson squeeze to dvd is it 24p?

ah and one more, dvfilm maker.. < can I capture and export with this and then into avid? is this worth it?

thanks in advance guys, you are the best!

well i know you can do all of this with Vegas... but i know only this about avid, with the mojo you can capture and spit out 24 fps. but yes its only with the mojo.... thats all i know. (and i hope i know that)

can anyone confirm that what I capture directly from my camera is not 24p? :(

You do not need Mojo to capture 24p directly from teh Panasonic DBX100 camera when using Advanced pulldown. DIrect Firewire connection will work just fine. The reduntant frames are removed during the capture process. An Audio Delay can also be selected for the first version of the camera.

how do I know if I am using advanced pulldown?

[MichaelP]

Xpress Pro always assumes ADVANCED when capturing and will complain it is not. Also, teh LCD flip out on the camera will show 24A on one of the on screen displays (if enabled in the menus).

so you can create 24fps stuff in avid without using the mojo? and finish the projects? Why though, just use the mojo, you got it. Well you know what actually, i had the mojo and my cat ate through the wire of it, along with my firewire to my ipod and my second computers speakers. i am so pissed at my cat, but i have since replaced everything. But when i was without the mojo for that time, if i would have known that. hehe wait, i dont have advx yet. lol. im crazy.

Micheal man, god bless you dude! I wish I would have had teachers like you in my editing class!! thanks again!

Your actually digitizing at 29.97.

3rd opinion and I am more confused, it means that I got 30 fps then? NTSC? no 24p without mojo? this is driving me crazy.. I swear, everyone that I ask gives me a different answer :(

[MichaelP]

The DV tape is 29.97 with ADVANCED pulldown. The 23.976p proejct will take in a 29.97 DV signal and remove the frames to create native 23.976p footage on disc. All editing is done at 23.976p native. You do not need to Mojo to capture in this project type, but you do need a Mojo to reinsert the 2:3 pulldown when going back out over FireWire to NTSC.
