Q: Reverse telecine option is greyed out?
I have 29.97 fps interlaced material that I'm pretty sure has been telecined from 24 fps. The giveaway is that in FCP, when viewing the material at anything other than 100% size, it looks like every 4 frame is duplicated, but at 100% you don't see that effect.
However when I load it into Compressor (4.2.2) to try to reverse-telecine it into 24fps, the "reverse telecine" option is always greyed out no matter what I do or what transcoding setting I am using (e.g. Pro Res). I followed the Compressor user guide to the letter - applying a setting to the material, going to the video inspector, setting the frame rate as 29.97 - but under "retiming quality" reverse telecine is always greyed out and can't be selected.
Help!
