Capturing material that was printed to tape

I shot 24pAdvanced, captured with Pulldown, and edited on a 23.98 timebase. Looks fantastic. So far, so good.
BUT...when I print to tape, and then capture THAT (again using Pulldown), this captured file is 29.97. Why shouldn't it be 23.98?
Again, I took perfectly good 23.98 material (24pAdvanced) that was captured using Pulldown, I then printed it to tape, and then captured this print-to-tape material. In capturing this print-to-tape material, I used Pulldown. BUT it's 29.97? Wha? And why?
(Please don't post a link to a primer on 24fps. Thank you!)

Welcome to the discussions,
You say don't post a primer on 24P, but there is something you're not getting here. Pulldown is when frames are added (6 per second) to bring 24fps material up to 30 fps. ANYTHING on DV tape is 30 fps. 24P or 24PA are both recorded to tape at 30. With a pulldown added.
When you captured the 24PA material, you captured +with pulldown removal+, NOT "using Pulldown". That put it into your system at 24fps. In your system. Going back out to tape, FCP must add the pulldown back to play at 30 again. DV tape is 30fps.
FCP inserts a 3:2 pulldown - or 24P, not PA. Thus, if you want the pulldown removed, you must use Cinema Tools to do so +after capture+.
Make sense?

P.S. obviously read 23.98 and 29.97 where appropriate

  • I have a family video DVD that was originally on tape, but is now on disc. I want to import it onto my MacBook to edit and store. However the files are IFO, BUP and VOB and the Mac is saying 'unable to import' as it doesn't recognise the file. Help !!

    Those are the constituent parts of a standard mpeg2 DVD. Storing them is easy: just copy the folder to your hard drive and they will play in DVD player or VLC.
    But that format is not intended for editing. To do so:
    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
    (unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
    And from the TOU of these forums:

    Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
    If you are running Lion:
    From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion onwards, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it. See this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3381
    To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

  • How can I correct a photo that was printed in reverse

    I have a very old photo that was printed from either a glass plate or very early negative. Either way it was printed with the negative upside down so the photo is reversed. How can I correct that?

    Thanks, I figured it out after I asked the question, Duh!!

  • KonaSD Captured Material & Edit to Tape Offset Craziness

    System Configuration: Final Cut Pro v5.0.3, AJA KonaSD, Keyspan USA-28x USB-->Serial Adapter, ATTO UL3D SCSI card
    Summary: A Playback Offset of -3 frames is needed to have a slate (.mov export from Adobe After Effects) inserted into a Digital Betacam tape at the same timecode address as where it is located on the Final Cut Pro timeline. Material captured by the KonaSD card requires an additional -3 frame offset in order to be inserted into a Digital Betacam tape at the same timecode address as where it is located on the Final Cut Pro timeline. If I go to Audio/Video Settings-->Device Control-->Device Control Preset Editor-->Playback Offset and set the offset to -3 frames, the slate will be inserted at the proper timecode address on a Digital Betacam tape. When that same sequence has KonaSD captured material that needs to be inserted as well, the KonaSD captured material must be moved 3 frames closer to the start of the sequence in order to have it inserted into the Digital Betacam tape at the proper timecode address.
    Steps to Reproduce:
    1. Load a .mov export from Adobe After Effects into a Final Cut Pro sequence, and spot it at 00:59:50:00.
    2. Load KonaSD captured material into the same Final Cut Pro sequence, and spot it at 01:00:00:00.
    3. Go to Audio/Video Settings-->Device Control-->Device Control Preset Editor-->Playback Offset and set a playback offset of -3 frames.
    4. Perform an edit to tape (insert edit) with a DVW-A500.
    Expected Results: The slate should appear at 00:59:50:00 on the Digital Betacam tape, and the KonaSD captured material should appear at 01:00:00:00 on the Digital Betacam tape.
    Actual Results: The KonaSD captured material appears at 01:00:00:03 on the Digital Betacam tape. It is edited to tape three (3) frames late.
    Regression: This problem did not exist with Final Cut Pro HD with Mac OS X v10.3.9.
    Notes: The only workaround is to manually shift the KonaSD captured material three (3) frames earlier in the timeline.
    Does anyone have any insight as to what is going on here?
    Thanks for reading!

    It has been my experience that FW control never results in perfectly frame accurate edits.
    Since you have the BR-DV3000U deck, you have the option of serial control. I believe you might be able to get frame accurate edits with that, but I cannot say for sure.

  • When I capture from tape, express 4 now breaks my captured material into separate shots, an icon in the browser for each. Before it captured the whole clip till I hit escape, and created just one Icon. How to i get back the way it was.

    When I capture material from tape with final cut express 4, it used to create one icon for the whole clip. Now, when i capture, it breakes  the material down into many browser icons, shot by shot. I dont want that. How to I return to what I ahd before/

    What you describe is normal behavior for HDV capture using FCE.
    DV captures as one clip or may split the clip if there are timecode breaks on the tape.
    HDV always breaks clips at the shot changes using FCE.
    HDV cameras can downconvert to DV even if HDV was used to record the footage so it's important to know what the camera outputs during FCE capture.
    Maybe this is why you have had mixed results with the differing capture windows?

  • Problems with capturing and printing-to-tape using FCP4

    Having trouble logging footage and printing to video using FCP4.
    1) When we log-in footage (capture) it constantly stops and says, "dropped frames". This usually happens after 10-15 minutes of logging-in footage. Why is this happening??
    2) When we Print-To-Tape, it will suddenly stop! Sometimes it will continue Printing-To-Tape, but without audio!
    Is this a common problem? Should we re-install FCP4?
    We've done all the software updates, but we're still experiencing these problems. We've also cleared up our computer by deleting old FCP4 projects.
    We have a G4 with three internal Hard Drives with approx 180GB each. We're using the Sony DSR-11 as our Mini-DV deck.
    Help!!!!

    We don't have Virex or Norton software in the machine. We have Disk Warrior which was helpful in the past with other problems. Should I run another check using Disk Warrior?
    We only have one machine which has three internal drives. We've experienced the same problems using each of the drives.
    We do have some video stored in the system drive, but normally we don't use that drive. The system drive currently has 70GB availble, as do each of the other internal drives.
    We have updated our FCP to 4.5, but should we trying re-installing it?

  • I can not print a pdf file that was sent in an email.  I get the error message that adobe could not

    I can not print a pdf file that was sent in an email.  I get an adobe error message that it can not print with an ok to check and when i do I get another adobe error message that says I did not select a page to print. I have downloaded the latest adobe download.  I forwarded the email to my husband and he printed the document just fine.

    This first question which comes to mind is how do you display the pdf file in the browser?
    For this the browser uses a plug in (e.g. adobe reader) which already has the ability to print the pdf file. Depending on the version of your plug in, printing is started differently.

    What exactly is the error?
    And, we'd need some info re. your Mac model and OS version - you are not running iOS on it.
    You need to realize that this model has been discontinued and the last driver updates are dated about a year ago. If you are running Mavericks, there may not be an updated driver for it. But you can try to delete the printer and add it again to see if that will work.

    I use lightroom with the soft proofing feature for my printing. I used to make a copy proof, but all of the sudden something changed, and even if I'm on the copy in the developing mode it prints the original. Also, If i chose a file that was already in light room to print, even though I have the chosen file up in the developing mode, it will instead print the most recent file that I added to lightroom. If found a way to work around these problems, (check make this the copy in the soft proofing, and copy my settings and delete and reload the old files) but it's a slight hassle and it didn't use to do this. Not sure why it changed. Could I have accidentally changed a setting?

  • How do I fix footage that was capture  in the wrong format?

    Hi there,
    I want to edit footage that was supposed to be captured in 16.9. 720 x 480(1.2121) but once imported onto premiere pro cs4  looks like this
    according to properties it was captured in 16.9. 720x480(0.9091)
    How can I convert it to the first settings? 16.9  720x480(1.2121)
    Please help.
    Thanks,
    Elio

    The best way is to work in a 4:3 sequence.  On an older square TV, it'll be 16:9 with black bars on top and bottom.  On newer widescreen TVs, it'll be both letter and pillar boxed with black bars on all sides, in which case you set the TV to Zoom mode.
