**FCP X and removing pulldown

[NorBro]

I have some HVX200 footage shot in 23.98. Before importing, I checked the remove pulldown box. After I place the footage in my timeline, I still see the 3rd or 4th frame has fields in it.

Any thoughts on what's going on?

Thank you.

Did you shoot in 1080/24p, 1080/24pA, 720/24P, 720/24pN, 480/24p or 480/24pA?

I'm not sure what the videographer shot in as far as 1080/24p or pA, but I tried reverse telecine and it worked...which one would that have been?

 

[David Jimerson]

If it was a reverse telecine, then it would have been 24p, not 24pA. 24pA is the only pulldown which can be removed automatically in FCP/FCPX.

I don't know why so many people shoot 24p instead of 24pA.
