[Avid-L2] Re: [FCP-L] Easy way to remove 2:2:2:4 pulldown?

Thanks for the reminder Jay. Turns out the first few scenes were all the
same cadence, but the cadence broke off from there and became random based
on the edit. So this was a case of 24p source footage edited into a 29.97
FCP timeline instead of what I originally thought (24p edit dropped into a
29.97 FCP timeline). It all seems so hopeless now.

I wish people who shoot 24p would edit and color correct at 24p too. Then
at least I'd get a 24p file and could apply a proper pulldown in my online.

So many wishes these days...

Thanks for the help!
