Frame Rate Question

[Staven]

Hello.

I'm a Final Cut guy(i guess), and know little about Premiere.

I'm doing trailers for a friend who is cutting his feature on Premiere Pro (not sure what version).

He shot the movie using an XL2 on 24p 2:3:3:2 mode - equivalent to dvx100 24pAdvanced.

But, all the .avi clips he gave me are 29.97. I'm editing on a 29.97 timeline and they all look and play great.

Whenever I capture 24p advanced clips on final cut, they become 23.976 clips.

Is it different in Premiere? He is editing the film on a 23.976 timeline.

I'm wondering if he either a) captured the clips wrong, or b) actually shot 24p Normal mode.

thanks for the help. I want to make sure he doesn't complete the edit then find out he didn't capture the source footage properly.

Premiere doesn't remove the pulldown unless they're imported into a 24p timeline. Open one up and check to see what the frame rate is.

Thanks for the reply.

So, you are saying that the clips remain 29.97 until they are placed onto 24p timeline. Once on the timeline, the pulldown "effect" happens. (?)

Does that mean you capture the footage as regular 29.97 without any special preset?

Also, he exported a set of clips off the 24p timeline for me. When I got that footage, along with the source clips, they were also 29.97. Does export automatically add the pulldown back in? (with Final Cut it just exports a 23.976 file)

Right, Premiere doesn't automatically remove the pulldown during capture. It does it automatically though as soon as the footage is imported into a 24p timeline.

I don't know what his setting is but you can choose to export 23.976 out of Premiere or 29.97 in which case it adds pull down.
