A client of ours shot a project with the Panasonic HVX-200 in 1080i/24p (not 1080i/24pa) and they are asking if they will have a problem with the footage when they output to film. They are using Final Cut Studio 2 on an 8-core Mac Pro.

I told them to use Cinema Tools to reverse telecine the 29.97 footage back to the native 24p and they shouldn't have problems. They said I was wrong and that frames would be lost in the process. (Which I know isn't how 3:2 pull-downs work) They also said that they did this before and the 1080i footage they got from the HVS-200 P2 cards and FS-100's were already in 24p format when transfered. Is there a way that this was possible or am I missing something here?

Thanks!
 
No, they don't understand. 1080 24p is really 29.97
I have never been able to remove the pulldown to
create a decent 24p file. Ask them what the sequence
settings are. If you were going to filmout - you really
need to shoot 1080 24pA, remove the advanced pulldown
and edit in a 24p timeline. I think they have screwed themselves.
 
Yeah, that was user error.

If they're able to convert it, they'll lose fields, but only the fields which were inserted in the first place to pull the frame rate up to 59.94.
