  Is there a way…interpreting footage – time in video…

  Hi,

  sorry for the heading. It’s difficult to put it all in there.

  WHAT I HAVE
  I have a project completed, that was released a year ago in PAL land.
  So everything is 25 fps. This educational series is rather long – with 24 episodes running a total of 7 hours

  WHAT I WOULD WANT TO DO
  Now, I’m releasing a translation of this series – with all new native speaker parts. Since this is going to NTSC land, all new footage was shot in 24p (23,976). Additionally some parts are improved, others require a new edit, but all of the previous footage needs to be “interpreted” as 23,976. Premiere lets you do this quite comfortably and so far so good – for individual video clips.

  BUT here is my problem. I use footage from public domain films and clip-collections I received from contributors. These clips are themselves long or are strung together in long videofiles (30 minutes). And I use many different sections (instances) of them many different times. Now, when I reinterpret a 30 minute 25p file to 24p, then naturally it will be about 4% longer. With this all of of the beginning and end points of the instances of the footage also shift and are off.

  Since this is such a large project it is really tiresome to find the exact spot in the file again and again (while at the same time losing the reference of what was there in the original)

  IS THERE A WAY?
  My first thought was to just click the file in the project window and up the spead by 4,14 percent, but that did not do anything (possibly it up-ed the speed of each instance of the clip, but not shifting the start point).

  Anyone with bright ideas?

  Thanks,
  Johannes

  I don’t believe so. I use Prelude to create subclips and for one music video I worked on we planned on slight slow motion. After we re-interpreted all of our footage, the subclips were all off.

  If anyone knows a trick that I’m not aware of, I’d love to know.
