Help!

Just spent last 5 hours capturing 24pA footage into FCP. With these settings:
Sequence Preset- DV NYSC 48 KHz - 23.98
Capture Preset- DV NTSC 48 KHz Advanced (2:3:3:2) Pulldown Removal
Device Control Preset- FireWire NTSC NDF


BUT THE FOOTAGE IS ALL BLINKY IN FCP!

Thought these were the right settings for capturing 24pA but it's my first time.

Any idea what I've done wrong?
Must I start over?
Please show me the light!

Those settings seem like they should work. Sorry, can't help you on the 'what did I do wrong' front. I can tell you how I did it, though.

I had trouble with FCP's advanced pulldown removal on my 24pA footage (kept dumping on every dropout), so I dumped the footage in 29.97 and then used Cinema Tools reverse telecine to 23.98. I'll never go back. CT was smooth and easy. I haven't tried the batch reverse telecine, but you might want to look into that option if you end up having to recapture and removal pulldown on your footage.
