so i just shot and loaded some GH-1 footage and it apears that when placed into a 24p timeline that the reverse telecine is done correctly and automatically

can anyone confirm.

thanks in advance

Some more details? Did you transcode the footage?

[john deaver]

yea yea

sorry, just copied over from the card

did not optimize (transcode to prorez)

the inspector list it as 29.97

dropped into a 23.98 timeline

gave me an orange render bar

background rendering took a few minutes (older macbook pro)

didn't see any interlacing of combing in the footage in the viewer/canvas/whatever its called these days

exported short sequence to the desktop

plays in quicktime perfectly with no evidence of extra frames or interlacing or anything. looks as though i did the proper reverse telecine in compressor. inspector in QT list it as 23.98 FPS


I know its sort of a non issue at this point as the GH1 has sort of been replaced buy the GH2 but i still use one as a C cam and its nice to be able to skip this step.

Thanks, good to know, even though for me it isn't a non-issue: I'm just a hobbyist, and still using the GH13.

Sorry, newbie question, but how do you convert the 29.97 time line to 23.98, i.e., drop it?

In the Project Library, highlight a Project, open the Inspector, there's a button with the icon of an open end wrench at the bottom right.
