  DecklinkHD and Varicam 25p + 50p slowmo

  Posted by Rory Hinds on November 24, 2005 at 7:38 pm

  Hi there

  I’m working on a project that is going to be shot 25p as well as 50p slowmo.

  I’m trying to work out the best option to convert the 50p to 25p to create the slowmo footage and was wondering if I can do this with the DecklinkHD card via HDSDI and the AJ-HD1200A VTR?

  Or should I be working via Firewire and using FCP’s FRC plugin?

  What is the best workflow to do a Offline and HD Online edit with Varicam footage?

  Many thanks
  Rory

  Thanks Nico, I’ll check out CinemaTools.

  Do you know what the correct capture setting is for the 50fps footage?

  I take it I will need to Capture via HDSDI as fireware @ 25fps doesn’t work (so I have read)

  Please could someone let me know what the correct capture settings are for both

  25fps 25p
  50fps 50p

  I guess once I have the 50fps footage in the system I can use Shake, CinemaTools or AE to slow it down to 25fps.

  Many thanks
  Rory
