Stimulating a 24P or "film" look?

Describe the "look" that you want ( as you perceive24P or film look) and what have you got as a source clip to work with?

Take the clip and output it twice - once with it rendering upper fields first, and the second time rendering lower fields first.

Once finished, start a new timeline and put both of them in. Put the upper onto of the lower and make its opacity 50%.

This will give you 30p, not 24p.

Posterize time will not help you. It'll give you 24p by throwing out frames, which will look incredibly jumpy. Just Premiere, without any plugins or other software, has no way to create true or simulated 24p.
 
I used to use a program called Fields Kit which cost me around a hundred bucks.

I used this with both my trv17 and my trv900 to pretty good effect. This simple little program goes a long way to making standard interlaced video look like film.

How it works is it really does turn your footage into progressive frames, but there are a lot of parameters of adjustment which tweak the look in various ways.

Unfortunately I ended up experimenting a lot with it... and that's what you'll have to do for the best final result. You can default to "blend" and not experiment AT ALL and you'll still get a good film look, but if you want it to actually have the 24p film look then you'll be tweaking.

About the only negative thing I can say about it is the render times are fairly long. Ideally (for work flow) you would want to convert your rough cut w/o your titling and effects... and then dump that to tape and recapture it so it's just got the characteristics of filmlook as part of the base footage. If you don't do that and you render out the entire timeline and then start changing/adding/trimming then you'll just have to sit through long renders all over again.

This program won't turn your cam into a DVX... but it definitely takes the video feel right off of your footage. I used this in a sports video and it felt like we were watching an old football film. (I mean film film.)
