  • anything like Cinema Tools?

    Posted by Kent Beeson on August 12, 2014 at 3:21 am

    I no longer have Apple’s Cinema tools…is there anything out there or in PP CC 2014 that’ll instantaneously change the frame rate from 29.97 to 23.98, etc of a quicklime mov file like Cinema Tools did? I need to drop a few 29.97 mov files in my 23.98 timeline and I want smooth non-jittery motion on those mov files.

    PPro does this internally. Click on the clips in the Project window…right-click on them, and choose MODIFY>INTERPRET FOOTAGE. Then choose the frame rate you want them to be in the ASSUME THIS FRAME RATE window.

    Perfect – didn’t know that, it worked, BUT then of course it also slowed down the audio associated with that clip, going from 29.97 to 23.98…but at least I know how to now do that….I take it the frames per second redo only affects the clip in PP CC 2014, NOT the original mov file?

    Correct, only the clip. You can reimport the file for normal audio speed. But it won’t sync up with the modified clip, obviously.

    so if I want to lay a piece of 23.98 footage in a 29.97 sequence I would “interpret footage” and it will add pull-down.?

    No. If you interpret that footage, it will speed it up. Take it frame for frame and make 24fps into 30fps. Just like 60fps to 30fps slows down footage. Interpret means “take all the frames that exist in this footage, and make it play at this frame rate.

    Doing what you want to do is much easier. Just cutting the 23.98 footage into a 29.97 interlaced timeline will add the proper pulldown.

    Instead of re – importing the clip, you can just duplicate the master clip in the bin and reinterpret that clip. Just make sure you give that new clip a different name so as not to confuse yourself.
