[Tig] A stupid 3:2 question

[Erik Hansen]

It's not interlaced BUT it could be. I'm not sure how you are driving  
your FCP station from your TK suite, but if the card does not know  
where the A-frame is, it will remove the wrong fields. Even if it  
thinks it knows where it's at, there maybe a delay in picture.

With the latest version of Cinema Tools and it's improved Inverse  
Telecine function, I don't even bother capturing SD at 23.98fps. I've  
had too many experiences with being a frame/field off. Especially  
with HD down-conversions. I've just mandated my department to capture  
at 29.97 and Inverse Telecine to 23.98fps. It's quick, saves loads of  
headaches and re-dos.
