I am shooting a film on my DVX-100b in 24pa. We captured the footage into Final Cut using the advanced pulldown preset. When we watched through the footage in Final Cut in a 23.98 timeline, we noticed that the audio drifted over the course of the hour long clip. It starts off ok, but then by the end of the tape, the audio is about 15 frames ahead of the image. Is there a problem with capturing an entire tape that was recorded in 24pa because of the cadence possibly reseting after each take? Also, would it be a better idea to capture it using the standard 29.97 capture and remove the pulldown using that option in the tools menu? The footage also looks really wierd when played back in FCP. It looks like big interlace bars running across the footage. This is the first time I have used 24pa mode, and I am in a little bit of a time crunch, so if anyone could help, I would really apprecicate it.

Thanks
 
Thank you for responding. Correct me if I am wrong. First I have to go into the easy setup menu under the Final Cut Pro menu at the top of the screen and change it to Dv NTSC 48khz. Then when I want to capture my footage, I have to go into the capture settings dropdown in the import window and change it to the pulldown removal (2:3:3:2) setting. Is this correct, am I missing any steps, or am I way off. Please let me know. Thanks again.
 
I also have the 24Pa problem. I used the FS-4 to capture in the QuickTime 24P format and ingested into FCP project with NTSC 48kHz 23.98. On the sequence, everthing looks fine, video and audio are in sync. Smooth and beautiful.

However, when I tried to export the sequence to a 24P QuickTime file from Compressor or otherwise, it also shows up some artifacts here and there and the audio is totally out of sync. Any one has any ideas?

I wonder how people export their edited clips to movie?

Thanks in advance for help.
