Compressor 3 _60i to 24p
I’m trying to do a conversion from 29.97 interlaced footage to 23.976 progressive. The results look good but the clip comes out 125% of its original duration. I don’t want slow motion. On the frame control page i activate the button that says:
so source frames play at 23.98 fps. The button above that which says Set Duration to: is not activated, and its input field is empty. However when i finish the compression and come back and look at this saved setting, the button for duration is still not activated, but in its field, grayed out, is 125% of source. And this is what appears to have happened to my clip. It is 125% of source length. Converting frame rates is not supposed to affect duration, is it? Anybody know why this is happening? -

If you want to use compressor to do this you change the Frame rate under Encoder>Video Settings> Frame Rate: (Custom) 23.98 (make sure Interlaced is not checked. Use the same Compressor Type as your timeline.
Then if you want to do some test to see if Frame Controls give you better results you can try, if you use best settings get ready to wait. So do test on really short clips. But in the end your duration is the same as the 29.97.
There are programs and filters that do a really good job
Natress, Magic Bullet and Shake if you want better results.
