24p Advance help

Hey folks -- was given some footage shot on a VX100 and it looks like 24p Advance (Vegas automatically recognized it as 23.976). After editing it I've rendered it every which way possible and the "jittery" frame thing won't go away. Anyone have advice on how to correct this? Do I need to capture it to the computer off the VX100 or will my Sony MiniDV playback deck do? I was unaware it was 24p until I started seeing all the jittery stuff upon render. Will dubbing it to a 29.97 format and THEN capturing correct some of this?

Also, one of my friends who's a Cinematographer told me that the only time you'd shoot 24p Adv. on the VX100 was if you were going directly to film. Is this true?

I don't have a direct answer for any of your questions; however, another place to check for help is: DVXuser.com

This is a very extensive forum dedicated to the DVX100 camcorder--it is usefully broken up into hardware, software, and other threads and even contains a dedicated Vegas thread relevant to DVX100 videography.

Hope this helps a little.

Best regards,

Lee

I'll be using a DVX100a shortly and there is a whte paper on a Vegas site about getting 24p into Vegas. Reading this is a must if you are doing 24p stuff. Do a forum search on the the AG DVX100a and you will find a thread with the posted link and download it. Also in the Vegas users section on DVXusers.com there is a link to the white paper too.

This doc describes how you can work with 24p DVX100 footage and Vegas (4 & 5):

are you editing the footage on a 24p timeline? Even though it reads it as 23.97, it's got to know to drop the extra frames. I've always shot 24pA and have gone to tape at 29.97 several times a couple for broadcast and it's looked fine. Advanced mode is generally reserved for progressive DVD's and film transfer but can be used as I've described above with no jitter.
