  DVCPRO HD 60i to 23.98 Whats the best way?

  Posted by Vladislav on July 20, 2006 at 9:38 pm

  What is the best way to do this?
  We edited this HD documentary in DVCPRO HD 60i (since it was going to be released on DVD only) now there is a need to convert it to 23.98.
  What is the best way? is it https://www.nattress.com/ ?
  Or maybe the Panasonic Frame Rate Converter will work? Any suggestions would be great, especially if you have done it before. What are the results?

  thanks

  The Panasonic DVCPRO HD FRAME RATE CONVERTER is for making 60p slow motion 23.98…so that won’t do.

  Either use the Nattress Standards Converter…or…just drop the 60i sequence into a 23.98 sequence and render. See what works best for you, as I do both methods. Both work for me.

  What is your current format? What format do you need to deliver on? Converting to the format you need to deliver (say from DVCPRO HD to Uncompressed 10-bit HD 23.98), the render will take care of it all.

  Thanks for quick response Shane.
  We need to deliver it on HDCAM 23.98 to be shown in the digital theater.

  which method gives you better resolution?

  thanks

  The both give the same resolution.

  Just create a 10-bit uncompressed sequence at 23.98, and drop your assembled cut sequence into that and render. Oh…after you SCALE TO SEQUENCE each cut (in the SEQUENCE menu)…OR…export your cut as a self contained QT file and reimport that into a 10-bit sequence and render…or use the Nattress solution. See what works best.

  Im having a similar problem
  we digitized Varicam HD DVCPRO 60i to a 720 24p project
  check marked to remove the redundant frames but some clips are still 60i
  I installed the PAnasonic FRAME RATE CONVERTER but it doesnt seem to register that it even works no option window or anything
  is there a way to go about this so I dont have to rent the deck again/ render the clip and have to rerender ever time I move it?
  I too need this footage to be 23.98 to match all the other footage (From P2 Cards) and from the footage that digitzed correctly

  please help
