I can't see jitter frames when bringing DV footage into Nuke so unable to remove the 3:2 pulldown... I can see jitter frames in QuicktimePro and Final Cut Studio... It's probably something to do with Quicktime codec not displaying full resolution within Nuke:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DV
"QuickTime by default only decodes DV to half of the resolution to preserve processing power for editing capabilities. However, in the "Pro" version the setting "High Quality" under "Show Movie Properties" enables full resolution playback."

Wondering if anyone knows a way around this within Nuke?

Many thanks in advance!

BTW my Nuke v5.0 project is set to 720x480 with a .9 pixel aspect 24fps... QuicktimePro flags the source clips as DV 720x480(640x480) 29.97fps...

Converting the DV footage to a lossless QT format and then importing into Nuke seemed to work alright... Conversion doesn't work well in Final Cut until editing the sequence presets to highest quality: Render all YUV material in high precision YUV +Motion Filtering Quality:Best. Conversion using QTpro makes colors a bit too different than source. Didn't play with compressor. Still unclear how others work with DV in Nuke since I couldn't get it to display full rez...

Hope this helps someone ;)
