    Add pulldown to XDCAM EX files?

    Hi there, does anyone know of a software solution like Raylight for XDCAM eX files?  We've been getting a bunch of EX files lately and all the shooters are shooting @ 23.976 for that "24p" look.  But it reeks havoc on our broadcast workflow when it needs to be combined with SD 29.97 footage and 1080 @ 59.94.

    We've resorted to ingesting files in a 1080p project and then laying the clips onto a timeline and then outputting to tape and then digitizing AGAIN utilizing the deck to add pulldown into a 1080i 59.94 project.

    I would love to heat what other users are doing when confronted with similar situations.

    I would like to hear about that too.  It's a big problem here as well.

    We have used TMPGEnc. to convert 24p to 30i and it works well but it's slow.

    2 MC4.0.3 systems, both Intel Quad Core PC's. 4GB ram each on Asus P5n32-e motherboards. NV7800GT cards with 191.07 drivers. WinXP 32 SP3. 2 Classic... [view my complete system specs]

    Re: Add pulldown to XDCAM EX files?

    After doing some research, it seems like the new version of MC (v3) can now mix frame rates in the timeline.  It would be great to just work in a 1080i 59.94 Project and bring those 23.976 clips into it.

    Does anyone have any experience yet mixing 1080p 23.976 & 1080i 59.94 in the same timeline?
