[quote user="BobRusso"] Avid does have White Papers on all the supported cameras: <http://www.avid.com/resources/whitepapers/> There is a detailed list of supported devices in the Knowledge Base: <http://tinyurl.com/595p48> [/quote] Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately none of these 1080p24 HDV cams are listed there. [quote] In

[quote user="itmatters"] [quote user="kamm"] Last week I checked MC3.0 and there's no sign of a proper, during-capture inverse telecine - will this *ever* be implemented? Did anyone notice at Avid that now you can get a pretty decent quality HDV Canon etc for B-roll from $1k...? It's there for NTSC, why is it such a pain

[quote user="Dom Q. Silverio"] Is the pulldown removal real time during capture or is it a seperate step (a la Log and Capture + Compressore in FCP) for Edius, Cineform, and FCP? My guess, it is a pain in HD because you are handling more data thus the overhead is much bigger. With HDV's long GOP structure it means you need to decompress

Pulldown removal is not only available

[quote user="Guywithcat"]I am cutting a few projects now -- all shot in 24p over 30i, editing in 30i. If we decide to go to film we can convert to 24 later and if we go to tv as planned we can stay at 30. I am still baffled as to why anyone would shoot 24, lay down to tape in 30, pulldown to 24 to edit, then reverse to 30 for output.[/quote

[quote user="ravidedit"] A lot of people that I've seen shooting 24p are doing it because they have a pipe dream that their going to get have it transfered to film at the end as if it was that simple. Most of those people don't have any idea what the process or the cost of such a venture is. And of course if most of them had the means

[quote user="tompearson"] we are cutting on an avid a video editor [/quote] It's NOT a video editor per se, sorry unless you are indeed cueing video tapes back and forth on some weird, Avid-branded system. [quote] yet so many want "that film look "you all have been barking about. so just go cut film and really be the purist you

[quote user="Job ter Burg"] [quote]if you are delivering in 30i on a regular basis (As we do here) then shooting in 24p is kind of a waste.[/quote] Huh? If one feels it looks nicer than 30i, what's wrong with that? How can it be a waste? Personally, I cannot watch any fictional footage that has been shot interlaced. It just looks wrong

[quote user="tompearson"] if film is so great why are we all cutting video ?? [/quote] Ummm excuse me...? I'm afraid I'm not following you...

Well, after learning you don't really know what telecine vs inverse telecine mean I tend to agree...
