1. Re: Premiere (and AME) will not export 23.98 DV NTSC properly
JSS1138 Jul 24, 2013 6:56 PM (in response to studio42sound)I need a true 24p DV-NTSC quicktime for the sound mix
You can't get that out of PP using the DV codec, as the DV specification allows only one frame rate - 29.97. In order to be a "DV file", PP has to add the pulldown.
You can't use the Cineform export for the job?

studio42sound Jul 24, 2013 11:02 PM (in response to JSS1138)I know I've made 24p DV quicktimes before. I'm a professional sound mixer, and we use them all the time. You can create them in Final Cut and Compressor. It kinda sucks that you can't do it in Adobe.
I can get by for the moment with what I have, but I'd like to find a proper workaround for this, if anyone has a suggestion, short of buying Compressor or FCP. Pro Tools can't play anything other than DV out the firewire port to the projector.

You can make them now, but they will include the pulldown as the DV spec requires. Any program that doesn't add that is creating out of spec files.

If by "DV" you mean export QT files at 720x480 24p, that can be done.
Simply use a codec other than DV (in this case H.264):
.
As Jim points out, NTSC DV codec is locked to 29.97fps (as it should be).
NTSC DV is by definition 29.97i.

7. Re: Premiere (and AME) will not export 23.98 DV NTSC properly
studio42sound Jul 25, 2013 1:06 PM (in response to joe bloe premiere)I don't want to argue about anything. I'm just telling you that I *need* a DV/DVCPRO 24p file for post sound. Not H264 or some other codec. It has to be DV/DVCPRO. I know that it can be done with FCP/Compressor. I'm just trying to figure out how to get it done with AME or Premiere.
I'm not trying to start a flame war, and I'm perfectly capable of making a 720x480 Quicktime in H264 without consulting a message board. That's not the question I'm asking.
AME has an option for creating DVCPRO 23.98 files, but only as P2 files, not as Quicktime. And you can create DVCPRO 23.98 Quicktime files, but not in SD. It's frustrating to need this one particular thing, to know that it exists, and to have Premiere just simply not *allow* me to do it.

SFL46 Jul 25, 2013 2:49 PM (in response to studio42sound)If you are unwilling to take the input from the other posters, you might search in wikipedia for DV video. In the entry, you will find that there are cameras that will record a varient of DVCPRO that will do progressive and 23.97. But the entry clearly states that this must be adjusted by pulling down to match the DV standard. Just what several people here have been telling you.

9. Re: Premiere (and AME) will not export 23.98 DV NTSC properly
studio42sound Jul 25, 2013 3:42 PM (in response to SFL46)I'm not trying to be difficult or contrary. Honestly, I'm not. And I'm not "unwilling to take the input from the other posters". But so far none of the other posters have actually answered my question, and one of them got snippy with me when I pointed out why his solution was not valid for my particular problem.
People have suggested various reasons why it can't be done, but I know it can be done because I've done it. And I've posted the evidence. The Quicktime in the picture above plays fine out of the firewire DV port. It imports properly into Pro Tools at the proper frame rate, while maintaining the proper timecode. This particular example doesn't have timecode burned into the video, but on ones that do, a pulldown to 29.97 means that I no longer get frame-accurate timecode on the video. It also means that the sync pops can drift half a frame because they are now in 29.97instead of 23.976. It means that I can't import the video into a Pro Tools project that already has a 23.98 video in it, since Pro Tools won't let you mix frame rates. It also means that I can't do my sound editing with frame-accurate video, which is unacceptable. So this is not a solution to my problem.
Others have suggested that I just use a different codec. That's not a solution to my problem either, since I need it to be DV/DVCPRO. I didn't invent Pro Tools and I have no control over what formats it will accept for firewire output. So that's also not a solution to the problem.
To everyone who has answered so far, thank you for your input. I appreciate it. I'd be really grateful if anyone could chime in with an answer to my original question: How do I create a standard definition DVCPRO 24p Quicktime in Adobe? Maybe the answer is that "Adobe doesn't have this functionality". But that's a different answer than "It can't be done, period."

I do not believe it is possible to do what you want
with the DV and DVCPRO codecs within Premiere.
I know you don't particularly care why, but these are specifically
defined codecs based on NTSC specifications (including fields).
If you were on Windows, I might have an idea on how to flip the
720x480 24p files exported from Premiere into a (faux) DV codec file.
On a mac, I'm not sure.
note:
Not a Pro Tools user, but do they have any updates available
to enable additional codec support?
H.264 is pretty widely accepted.

You can play H264 in a window on your computer screen just fine (which is what I'm doing right now). But if you want to send it out to a firewire device that hooks up to a projector, it needs to be DV. At least in Pro Tools 10. It's also possible that your audio guys are transcoding the H264 after you send it to them. I often do that, since H264 files are much smaller than DV and can therefore be uploaded/downloaded faster. Or they could be using different hardware that allows them to send out an H264. But to go out the firewire port, it has to be DV, and that's how most professional mix stages are set up. That much I'm 100% positive of.

Okay. Thank you. I wonder why Final Cut can do this but Premiere can't? That's more than a little frustrating, but oh well...

I would look back to post #3 where Jim sez:
"...they will include the pulldown as the DV spec requires.

Is it only seeing the fields that bothers you?
Are you viewing the output on an interlaced monitor?

JSS1138 Jul 25, 2013 4:49 PM (in response to studio42sound)none of the other posters have actually answered my question
I actually answered it in the first post. You can't create a DV file at 23.976 out of Premiere Pro, per se, as that is not a valid DV file. DV is only 29.97i That's it. That's the only kind of DV file that PP will create. So your 23.976 media will get pulldown added in order to make a "DV legal" file.

shooternz Jul 25, 2013 4:58 PM (in response to studio42sound)The definitely dont transcode in this instance but they are also not using a projector either on the work I am taking to them.
They are a certified Dolby high-end Suite etc.....and have projectors as well as monitors.
I called them and you are correct..only 24 will play out of the Protools timeline..but they have some device that allows a bypass for other speeds. He thought it swas maybe an on the fly background transcode. (AMA?)
Do you view via projector in SD only?
BTW - a workaround. Use Quicktime Pro . It allows A DV at 24 fps.

We're capable of projecting in HD, but it wastes a lot of processing power unnecessarily, which limits how many tracks and effects we can use on the audio.
But Quicktime Pro is the solution I was looking for. So much so that I fell kinda dumb for not having thought of it myself. I still think it's dumb that Adobe doesn't have this functionality, but something tells me that's not going to change anytime soon, so as long as I have a workaround that actually works, I'll be okay.
