Exporting Problem: 29.97 material to XDCam HD422 30p or 60i (50Mb/s)

So I shot some footage on my Scarlet in a 29.97 timebase, 29.97 frame rate and I'm trying to export it as XDCam HD422 1080i60 (50Mb/s) for broadcast editing. When I setup an export preset with that setting, I get stuttered playback on the clip once it's transcoded. I did a plain old ProRes422 export and the transcoded clip played back just fine.

In the Compression Settings dialogue window I've tried setting the FPS to 29.97, 30 and 60 and none worked. Also tried, in the Quicktime Settings dialogue window, setting FrameRate Override to both Clip FrameRate and Quicktime Setting. Again, couldn't get one to get a proper result.

Any idea where my issue may be? Do I need to go to ProRes from Redcine then convert to XDCam 60i in a different application?


Thanks!

Andy

Problem solved. I downgraded to Build 14 and everything is good to go. Downgrading solved a major audio issue too, so I'd be wary of Build 15 for now.
