Does anyone know if Xpress Pro currently supports the V1Us 24P mode? (I guess we know for sure that it can edit the video; the question is, will it be practical for Avid to do the 2:3 pulldown.) I am hoping that Avid either currently does or in the near future will support this natively, perhaps even in the capture mode. If anyone knows of a present workflow for 24A mode in Xpress Pro, I would be very thankful to know. My suspicion now is that in capturing, Avid would revolt every time the 24A mode put a break in the timecode between shots...
3Prong told me that the SpeedRamp plugin could do the pulldown, but I have not been able to test that yet. And of course, this would significantly increase render times.
The V1U 24P system:

Sony states:
"Leading manufacturers are scheduled to release nonlinear editing software compatible with the "24A" mode. These nonlinear software can detect the 2-3 sequence and remove the 2-3 properly. This way, the editor can create a 24p project, edit precisely at 24fps (23.98 progressive frames per second) throughout the process, and output the final master as:
1. A sequence of still images at 24 fps, for film out
2. A 23.98 YUV (uncompressed) HD file, for output to Cinealta™ products
3. A 23.98 SD MPEG2 file, for the highest quality DVD mastering possible
4. A 60i HDV file (2:3 added back in), for creating an HDV edit master
5. A 60i YUV (2:3 added back in, uncompressed) HD or SD file, for outputting to Digital Betacam™ or HDCAM™ for broadcast"
Thanks!
