  25p to 24p – other options?

  Posted by Plexigary on April 13, 2006 at 2:46 am

  Here’s the situation: I shot footage on a rented European HVX200, in 720p25. I dragged the footage from the camera to my hard drive via firewire, and returned the camera. I’m trying to edit in Final Cut 5.1, but it won’t import it. What are my options at this point? Is there a standalone conversion program that’ll convert HD 25p to 24p? The footage is silent, and it won’t be a problem if it’s slower after the conversion. I just need to get it into some type of format that will import to a 720p24 Final Cut project. Perhaps import the footage into another (Mac or PC) editing program, then output into a format that Final Cut can deal with?

  Does anyone have any suggestions?

  Thanks!

  if you can get the clips into AE6.5/7 you can set the out put fps for 24p … you can do it so it doesn’t cut out any frames …

  i don’t use FCP .. if it doesn’t import the 25p seems to me that is not the problem ??

  thanks, but the files are .mxf files, which after effects 7 doesn’t support.

  you could import them into After Effects on a PC if you use Raylight. then you export it as whatever you want. Raylight makes a reference avi file that links directly frame by frame to your mxf, so you won’t lose any quality if you use a lossless compression.
