  Need to convert 23.976 to 24 for DCP creation

  Posted by Greg Popp on November 12, 2013 at 3:50 pm

  I have a 23.976 sequence (built from DPX files exported from SpeedGrade and also with title clips) within Premiere Pro CC.

  I want to export the sequence at 24fps and I’m not sure how to do that best. I’m not concerned about audio (I already have stems from a sound designer that have been converted in Pro Tools to 24fps).

  I have a ProRes 422 master file that I suppose I could import back into Premiere, modify the frame rate with “Interpret Footage”, and then add to a 24fps timeline and re-export. But that involves an extra generation.

  I can’t just export the 23.976 sequence and set the frame rate to 24, can I?

  Any thoughts on the best way to do this to preserve quality? Thank you.

  I would copy all your clips from your 23.98 timeline into a 24fps timeline. Check timings and export as 24 Fps, hopefully that will work.

  Thanks Chris. My concern is not having “interpolated” the footage first. I’ll guess I’ll find out!
