Interlacing remains after pulldown removal

Question

Using Cinema Tools 3.1.2.
I am attempting to remove the pulldown after transfer from film to video. All seems to have gone well, except... in the resulting file, there is now 1 interlaced frame every 4 frames. I used the default RevTel settings: F1-F2, New File, Conform to 24.0 (Yes Std Upper/Lower), Fields: AA/Style 1.
Does this sound familiar? What am I doing wrong here? Thanks for any assistance.

Hi cgtyoder,
Hope this isn't too late, I just saw your post. What you need to do is split the media file in two, either by digitizing separately or using media manager with the copy feature after making subclips, and do a reverse TK on them separately. If you don't have burned in timecode on the transfer (I assume you don't), you'll have to detect which is your A frame by looking at the interlacing pattern. To use the settings you have, your cadence should be (where C stands for clean frame a D stands for dirty frame):
C (A frame)
C
D
D
C
C (A frame)
C
D
D
C
C (A frame)
C
etc.
Let me know if you need more details.
