Advanced pulldown question

I know this has been asked before, and I've read a few posts, but I feel the need to ask.....

I am trying to capture Anamorphic DV NTSC 24PA material into FCP 5.1.2

What is the best way to do this?

I can not (for some rason) capture with the "remove advanced pulldown" setting.

But is there a way to removed the pulldown after it's been captured as 29.97?

I will eventually need to make DVD's and/or compress for the web for the finished product.

Any help?

What happens when you capture with remove advanced pulldown?

You can remove advanced pulldown after you capture. It's a menu command. I am not in front of FCP right now but it's there under tools I think.

Andrew,

I get an error message saying something like "Error- stopped at t" . I get this message both when I try to digitize with the pulldown removal, and when I try to remove the pulldown as you suggested after I captured DV NTSC anamorphic.

Does that error message sound familiar?

That doesn't sound good. Are you using underpowered drives or an older Mac? I'd trash prefs and try again. Either method should be working.

Are you getting the Spinning Beach Ball Of Death?

If you're getting an error at t, usually that means you have a break in your timecode OR a break in the cadence pattern. Did you resolve this? I'm working on a big doc right now shot in 24pA also and am curious to know if it's just the speed of the drives.
