Importing a 24 frame 3DMax movie into FCP

Hey guys,

So I'm sort of asking this question on behalf of the fellow who is providing me with this 3D export, but here's the problem:

I'm working in a 23.98 timeline and will ultimately export at 23.98. I'm trying to insert a 3D Max movie into my project, but it is jittery in its playback. (It's a slow, trucking shot)

When a 29.97 3D Max movie is played in a 29.97 timeline...smooth as ever. When a 23.98 exported movie is played in a 23.98 timeline....jittery.

Any suggestions?

The movie is being rendered with fields. Tried frames, but it was also jittery.
 
If you have an NLE, import the clip into that & export as a 24p image sequence.
Then import that into your 3D app. Or ask him to do it but max or other 3D programs can't convert the frame rate for you.
 
I wasnt aware that Max could export to 23.98, I thought it was just 24fps. Image seaquences is what I always use.
