24p capture problems

[Killawa]

I am currently shooting a short in 24p and when i capture video from my dvx100B, everything that is in motion has horizontal lines running through it. In FCP i set the sequence preset at "DV NTSC 48 KHz - 24" and capture preset "DV NTSC 48 kHz". I am using a home video camera to capture the footage onto my computer since ive heard that using your good camera is not a good thing to do. Any help would be appreciated.

Can you post a screenshot- there's a few things that could be. Shift Apple 3 and then attach it to your post.

Shift-Apple-3 isnt doing anything. Any other way to frame capture?

shift command 4 click and drag

I only see the lines when im scrolling though a sequence, but when i an looking through the viewer it is solid.

hey mark, u gotta go to www.imageshack.us and upload it, thebn give up the link, or put it in the img tag

and its find in the viewer? sounds like a fcp setting u gutta switch on, to get the non interlace


try gnoig to effect, video, de-interlace

that will fix the lnies

haha, i feel like an idiot. Ok one second.

 

[Robbie Comeau]

its ok, i did the same mistake

That was the problem. You saved me. Thanks bud

ur footage needs to be rendnered, are u eiting on a 29.97 timeline?

 

[Robbie Comeau]

you shouldnt need to de-interlace it tho, when i shoot 24p, i ALWAYS get interlace, so now i just shot 24pA

 

[Killawa]

after i rendered it, i de-interlaced it and it looks good. I went through easy setup and selected the ntsc 24p option

 

[Robbie Comeau]

did u just drop the footage in to the timeline? no effects? because if you did that, you houldn't need to render it

 

[Killawa]

thats strange, this is my first time shooting 24p. I just got this camera and ive never edited on a different timeline before so this is all kind of comming at me at once.

 

[Robbie Comeau]

you see ur sequence tab? right click it and look at the frame rate opetion, are u in 29.97? you should be


try shooting 24pa (scene file 6)

and your sequence setting should be 23.98, capture using 2:33:2 pulldown

you wont get interlace, but itsa different setting

 

[Killawa]

my frames were actually set to 23.98. We are shooting a bulk of the footage tomorrow so ill switch it over to 24PA and use the options you said

 

[Killawa]

Also, one other thing. Its a bit off topic but when i export the footage using the quicktime movie option, the outcome looks blocky and low quality. Im not sure what the problem is and im hesitant to mess around with the more advanced option in FCP for fear ill perminatly jack something.
