convert 25i HDV to 24p HDCAM
I have a few film festivals to hit in September and will more than likely not be able to get a film output of my feature. It was shot in HDV 50i and edited on FCP5.
I need to see if I can do my own frame for frame 24p to output to HDCAM from my HDV 50i (PAL). Remember, I want “frame for frame 25 to 24” – it will be slower and I will deal with the 4% or so shift in audio.
Can I do this?
What do I need in plugins?
What would the work flow be?Thanks in advance to any life-saving genius.

The simplest way to do this requires 2 steps: deinterlace down to 25p then use the “Conform 25 to 24” tool in the FCP Tool menu. I’ve done this several times, shooting 1080/50i on a Sony Z1U, in my case downsampling at the same time as the deinterlace to get me to 720/24p. There are a number deinterlacing options, Shake is probably the best, but I use MPEG Streamclip from Squared-5 (https://www.squared5.com/), it has a really very good stochastic downsampler and deinterlacer.
