It's safe to iVCT after editing, right?

I've just recived my HK Kanon boxset, and this will be my first AMV that I've actually done with DVD source footage. I'm planning on editing in the DVD's native 29.97fps since it'd be easier overall and less CPU intensive with all that AVS crap. Also, since a lot of the layered effects, mainly the abundance of snow, were animated at 29.97fps while the more basic animations are at 23.967fps, I figured I wouldn't slaughter the fluidity of the animation by applying decimating the truely 29.97fps content.

I can just fire a D1 res final encode threw YAATC and it'll be all right, right?

I have no idea what YATTC is, but ivtcing after editing isn't optimal. If you just do straight cuts then it could work out fairly well, but once you start layering video and doing motion effects and stuff it will just go to hell.

It's gonna go to hell if I iVCT it anyway since anime is a grab bag of two frame rates anyway. Sorry, the program is called YATTA (Yet Another Telecide Tool for Anime), it's probabbly the most effective tool I've seen anime rip groups using.

Ohh well, since my target is TV viewing anyway, I'll just work with it in it's native format and deal with the pulldown and interlacing after the fact.

You'd probably be better off just deinterlacing and keeping the final frame rate at 29.97, if it's a hybrid source like that...

Yea, because it would likely be straight up impossible to IVTC after editing.

you could check frame by frame. but that would be more work than the editing.
editing is my second last step if i'm editing. keep that in mind

I'm guessing few of you have actually SEEN Kanon, but the entire series is set in the winter, a great ammount of the scenes rely on a 29.97fps overlay of light fluffy snow animated over everything, I just couldn't decimate that without making it look choppy.

Heh, it's funny cause all the subtitles on this HK disk were stolen from Elite-Fansubs fansub. XD

Here's the most asinine and simplistic DVD rip I'm doing for my current project using Patlabor II.
Rip entire DVD to one single, large VOB. Open vob in Vdubmod, output required scenes to HuvYUV for Premiere. Complete. XD
