Re: [Avid-L2] Re: OT - QC monkeys attacks again. Help!!!

 

I can just imagine the note: "Please add incorrect pulldown to all 23.98 sources". 2:3:2:3 pulldown is the only visually acceptable form of pulldown for 23.976 to 29.97 conversion. I'm sure like me you've seen the bad pulldown all over TV, where it's either done 23.98 to 29.97p, resulting in 1:1:1:2 pulldown (stutter), or done 23.98 to 29.97i in FCP7, also resulting in 2:2:2:4 (stutter). Seeing these is the bane of my television watching existence, and yet there it is, constantly, all over the place. Now we have people requesting this garbage conversion?

We just had a broadcaster instruct the online editor that all frame rate conversions must be done using "duplicated fields" - no interpolated frames or 2:3 pulldown for the international deliverables. Keep in mind, the series was primarily shot 23.976p, edit in 23.976p and will be delivered in 1080i/59.94. Now every non 29.97 footage has a stutter in it because all motion effect is set to duplicated frames.

Go figure.

First off, the QC guy is an idiot. Has he ever sen film transferred to video?

That said, if you wanted to not have blended fields at cuts (which I believe statistically would be 20 percent of them), you could take the 23.98 sequence to a 30 frame project. Avid would 3:2 to each shot independent of all other shots. probably a lot of rendering involved, and it would be improper for a 3:2 sequence, but it sounds like it would pass this moron.
