Working on a show that is to be delivered at 29.97P 1080, There is a large amount of film media that has 2:3 pulldown which of course plays nice in an interlace world but is problematic when rendered in a progressive manner baking in the split fields. I know the show will be broadcast interlace in the end so in my mind the 2:3 pulldown is the best cadence for that but technically that could be flagged by QC as not true progressive. I expect that might happen when the show hits the digital delivery folks.
This got me thinking that the only cadence that would be correct for 29.97P would be 2:2:2:4 so that each frame is clean with not split fields. I've read threads on the L2 where people have mentioned that for some European QC concerns they required 2:2:2:4 instead of the normal 2:3. I know FCP 7 use to create the 2:2:2:4 cadence which always drew complaints. Is there a way in Avid to force a 2:2:2:4 cadence? I know in time warps I can choose 2:3 pulldown but don't recall anything else.
Ideally something that would detect the 2:3 pulldown and then create 2:2:2:4 so rendering in progressive would have clean frames. Perhaps I should look into BCC 8 I know they have deinterlace so maybe there is something in that area that might fit the bill.
Curious what others do to avoid the Plant of the Progressive QC Monkeys.
