Some stuff around Santa Monica

I need to figure out how to deal with the pulldown. Now, I've been around post production but I've never really done the work myself (work as an Advertising Art Director). I know there's a discussion on it in workflow, but what's the best way to deal with the AVCHD footage?

I might just shoot in MJPEG mode most of the time since the file size isn't as important to me as I won't be capturing a lot of footage at once without being near a computer to offload shortly thereafter. I did use iMovie once but I'm not sure technically what it's doing with that AVCHD footage. Is it leaving the pulldown or is it de-interlacing?

Now don't take my advice as gold, cause I'm an idiot to post work flows now days; years ago I mastered AEpro Cosa days/Adobe & Puffin Design Commotion, however I have been of line for a few years in that arena of the masterful circus of the LA film industry....

However it seems that NeoScene seems is the tool to use to get those files in. It's only like 139 bucks so it's pretty cheap to get going. That's what Im being told.....

Neoscene looks the best when pulldown is removed. On Mac you can get it for 100 bucks from videoguys. VoltaicHD works well too and is cheaper at 35 bucks. You can encode to prores and any other codec from Voltaic. Neoscene looks a little better than Voltaic because of the bump to 4:2:2 and it applies a chroma fix to the footage.

Thanks for the info. I'm going to wait for the firmware update and make a decision after that. I might just shoot MJPEG since it actually seems the cleanest to me. Even in this footage, the waves show does show some of that "mud" since the whole frame is constantly changing. I don't need the extra resolution and memory is cheap. But if the firmware doesn't fix this issue and I feel like I'm getting my money's worth out of 1080p then I'll probably throw in for NeoScene. I'll try the demo now.
