It is important to understand that, although Final Cut Pro initiates the reverse telecine process, it is Cinema Tools that actually performs the task. Additionally, you are not presented with the same choices as when using reverse telecine directly in Cinema Tools-the settings that are used for the reverse telecine process using Final Cut Pro are the last settings that were used in Cinema Tools. Therefore, you should always perform reverse telecine on a clip directly in Cinema Tools to verify the proper settings before processing clips using Final Cut Pro. Important: Performing reverse telecine using Final Cut Pro modifies the original media file-you do not have the option of creating a new media file as you do when using Cinema Tools. You must have read-and-write privileges for the media files. To use Final Cut Pro to perform reverse telecine on source clips 1 In the Final Cut Pro Browser, select the clips you want to process. Note: Only files using a frame rate of 29.97 fps will be processed. 2 Choose Tools > Cinema Tools Reverse Telecine. Cinema Tools opens and performs the reverse telecine, displaying a dialog that shows the task's progress. Using Batch Reverse Telecine If you need to reverse the telecine 3:2 pull-down of several clips, you can use the Batch Reverse Telecine command to process several clips at once. Note: If your source clips originated from a certain type of DV camcorder that shoots 24p, such as the Panasonic AG-DVX100 camcorder, see Removing 2:3:3:2 or 2:3:2:3 Pull-Down with Cinema Tools for more information. Preparing to Use Batch Reverse Telecine There are a couple of things you should do before using batch reverse telecine: • Before you start a batch reverse telecine process, use the single-clip reverse telecine process on one of your clips and check the results to make sure the settings you plan to use work correctly. See Using Reverse Telecine on a Single Source Clip in Cinema Tools for instructions. • If you are working with video that contains two fields, make sure that all your clips have the same field dominance. See Determining the Field Capture Information for more information. Some digitizing hardware may switch unpredictably between field 1 and field 2 dominance. If you find that some of your clips have one and some have the other, you can separate your clips into two field dominance batches and batch process them separately. Using Batch Reverse Telecine for Multiple Source Clips Before you use batch reverse telecine to process multiple source clips, make sure to read Preparing to Use Batch Reverse Telecine. 136 Chapter 8 Preparing the Source Clips for Editing
