Alrighty, here's the issue.
Whenever I import 24pA footage, everything works and comes out perfectly. After I edited and finish my project, I export the completed film back on MiniDv. Once again, everything works perfectly. The problem I'm having lies in when I decide to reimport that finished film from tape back onto my computer. When I import the film, there seems to be a frame issue. Every 3 or 4 frames, you see something along the lines of this:
As you can see, on the character on the right side of the frame, there is a field issue along the side of his frame. A moment of interlacing or just a messed up field even. Has anyone ever experienced such an issue with reimporting 24pA footage after it was exported on to tape?
When I import the footage into a 24pA project, I get this issue HOWEVER when I import the footage without pulldown (IE. into a 60i project) this issue isn't present. How odd...
Editing Program: Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0.
Camera: DVX100A in 24pA mode.
UPDATE: Although I'm still sightly unsure of what the issue is, it seems to have to do with the pulldown. As if the flags were rearranged upon export and reimporting and Premiere didn't know how to do the pulldown correctly. I was able to fix the problem by importing via. Premiere and bringing it in After Effects. In AE, it automatically did the pulldown but the field issue was still there, so I clicked "guess 24pA pulldown" and it re-interpreted the pulldown sequence, and boom, problem fixed. I remember exporting a completed film from tape earlier this year and this issue wasn't present. If anyone has any knowledge on this, that would be great but it seems to be a pulldown issue...
