  Editing with Varicam footage – need help please

  Posted by Allyson Sherlock on October 15, 2006 at 5:09 pm

  Hi All

  I have footage that was shot in 24p with Panasonic’s Varicam and then downconverted to DV at 29.97 to edit with. My question is…can I make an EDL that will be accurate if I am editing in a 29.97 timebase and the producers eventually want to online a master copy from the HD tapes?

  I came in on this project very late in the game (it’s not how I would have done it)…but we currently have the offline version done and sitting in a 29.97 editing timebase. Is it ok? If not, can I just copy it into a 23.97 sequence??

  Very confused and would appreciate any help. Thanks.

  You should be able to use Cinema Tools to convert your 29.97 EDL to a 23.98 EDL for the online.
