    Hi,

    Not sure if this is the right place to ask question;

    A client has asked me to fix a video;

    I was given a 1h 36m video that has gone through cinema tools to go from 30p to 24p, then it was put into compressor to speed up the audio. This method was taken from the Philip Bloom tutorial,

    https://philipbloom.co.uk/tutorials/canon-5dmkii-tutorials/how-to-convert-canon-5

    The finished result is a (56g 24p Apple Interm Codec) video that is too slow. The video needs to be sped up.

    The aduio/ video are in sync its just too slow. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to how to speed up the whole file? The finished video needs to go onto DVD.

    None of the original 30p footage is available all I have to work with is the 24p 56g file,

    would compressor work if I change the timing from 01.36.13 to 01.05.13?? A bit of trial and error? I presume there must be a much easier way of doing this,

    Any suggestions/ help with this would be greatly appreciated;

    Cheers,
    Daniel

    Hi Daniel.
    Yes, Philip Bloom is an excellent cameraman and DOP.
    Conforming makes sense when going from 24 to 25 or 25 to 24 fps. The movie speed up or slow down a 4%, but you don’t need to render losing one picture generation.
    From 30 to 24 or 24 to 30, it have no sense because the difference in speed is so huge that you will need to process the footage to speed it up.
    If you still have the original footage, try converting directly to p25 with MPGStreamclip.
    If you don’t have it, conform back your clips to p30 and convert them to p24 with Compressor.
    Best,
    rafael
    Another application of conforming is to convert p60 or p50 footage to slow mow at p24, p25 or p30.
