Interpret Footage Changes In & Out Points
Hi,
So we’ve been working on project all shot at 60P, to be interpreted to 25P.
We make timelines of footage as banks to pull from, so in/out points are added in the source window, then dragged to layout sequences.
The assistant editor forgot to interpret a load of footage before making these in/out points, so all footage has been logged and dropped onto these timelines at 60P.
If I now batch interpret all the clips in the bin to 25P, it keeps the in/out points in terms of timecode, so the clips stretch, but the in/out points stay in the same place (time-wise).
Is there a way to make them stick to frame rather than time? Otherwise he will need to screengrab and redo all points and timelines clip by clip…
Thanks,
D

Hi Dan,
Not sure if that may help, but I’d try to switch the timebase from time to frames in Sequence -> Sequence Settings -> General (in CS5 or ‘Settings’ in CS5.5) -> Editing mode. However, I believe this only affects a sequence and most likely doesn’t change the source monitor’s settings (hence the In/Out points made there). But I can’t tell that for sure, so it might be worth trying.

Hmm no unfortunately that didn’t do anything.
Pretty sure there isn’t a workaround, sorry for anyone in the same situation (unlikely).
Thanks for your help.

Sorry that didn’t help.
Still, being in a frames-based timeline, you can quickly move between your cuts (Page Up/Page Down) and write down respective frames numbers (frames count remains the same no matter what fps a footage is interpreteted at) and then use those notes to recreate the same cuts in the correctly interpreted clips. Although not an automated solution (especially tedious with a lot of subclips), this still can be easier and quicker in some situations as compared to starting over the whole editing process.
