I'm looking convert 29.97 footage to 23.98 but the problem I'm having is After Effects can't determin the pulldown pattern (in Interpret Footage > Fields and Pulldown the "Guess 3:2 Pulldown" is greyed out and "Guess 24Pa Pulldown" doesn't do anything) and I'm trying to figure out why.
Here's the issue in detail:
Can I determine the native fps? Because if it was shot at 23.98, then incorrectly converted to 29.97 I don't think the reverse telecine process would work. One thing to note, the 29.97 footage is progressive, NOT interlaced. Do cameras shoot 29.97 progressive? If not, then that's probably the issue.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks!
Have something to add?
