cadence error and possibly mixed clips

[skinnyboy]

Greetings,

We shot 2 tapes worth of footage on a DVX100a, and advanced pulldown was turned on in the camera.
However, I got a cadence error on just 2 shots when I tried to capture with pulldown removed. Every other shot came in fine, just those 2 had to be pulled in without pulldown removal.

Questions:
1) does this make sense? Am I possibly missing something here and it's not a pulldown issue with the cadence error?

2) When I try to use those 2 clips in a 23.98 sequence, I have to render every time I do something with them. Can I get around that?

3) should I just write off those 2 shots to avoid the headache of dealing with the mixed footage?

4) Is there a way to "fix" those shots so they are at 23.98 like everything else? If so, will they look and behave OK?


Thanks!

Jason

Try logging and using batch capture. Start the capture a second or two after the camera starts if you can.

got it

got it

Actually, I logged and used batch capture the first time.

I got around the cadence error by doing a "Capture Now" a few seconds into the offending clips (fortunately just slate and "action" were cut out).

Guess it was just an odd timecode break.

Weird, tho.
