  cross convert 720 59.94 to 1080i 29.97

  Posted by Donato M. rondinelli on June 13, 2008 at 5:06 pm

  I have some 1080i spots that I’m working on. One of the shots is a glass of water falling on the floor. The producer shot that in 720 59.94 because he wanted a good slomo.

  What’s the best way to get that into FCP with the LHe? If I take a 59.94 file into a 29.97 timeline, will I still have the 60fps?

  I using the 1200A.

  Thanks!

  The LHe doesnt do cross conversion.

  Just putting the 720p clip into your timeline will do a quick and dirty convert (not good quality).

  The 1200A will do a hardware cross convert, but then I guess you lose the slo mo benefits.

  If its just one shot, how about creating a 720p timeline and doing your slo mo there, then exporting to Compressor for the cross convert to 1080i.

  Yep, that’s a good idea.
  Thanks.
