  23.98 edl/quicktime conversion to 29.97 w/Timecode BurnIn-Need some help…

  Posted by Jessica101 on March 23, 2006 at 7:12 pm

  Hello everyone,

  the film I am getting ready to turn over to online and sound has been shot in Super 16, telecined to HD and DVCam.
  Digitized into FCP 5 from DVCam using flexfiles/Cinema Tools and Reverse Telecine. My sequence is in 23.98.
  We won’t go back to film, instead we online from HD, and then transfer to film.

  -Using export edl, will my edl be accurate? (Burn In reflects the 29.97 TC on the DVCam, so I have no way of checking), also I used some motion effects (15%-90% speed), will this translate?
  -composer needs a Quicktime in 29.97 w/Timecode Burn In reflecting the 29.97, what’s the best way of doing that?

  Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

  Thanks so much,

  Jessica

  Create a 29.97 timeline in FCP. Lay your 23.98 quicktime into the 29.97 timeline. It will need to be rendered, but it is adding a hard pulldown that will completely work for composer and sound team’s needs.

  Use the timecode filter and display the code (which will be in 29.97 now) I’d cover over your old burn in box to avoid confusion.

  To use this process for a final 29.97 layback to tape, Graeme Nattress has a perfect plugin that properly adjusts fields for this conversion to look perfect for picture final. the way I told is perfect for your needs though.

  Thanks so much Mike, that sounds like a good plan.

  Any thoughts on how accurate my EDL in 23.98 for the HD Online will be?
