  • Editing 50i 60i and 25p together

    Posted by Fergal Cunningham on December 15, 2009 at 12:41 pm

    Hi all,

    I have a little bit of a problem. Editing a wedding video and unfortunately all the footage I have was shot at 50i, 25p and 60i. So I need to edit them all together, don’t really mind which format I end up in, as long as all the footage plays well together.

    I suppose converting the 60i to 25p or 50i would be best, and then editing in either 25p or 50i?
    I tried using natress, but it took quite a long time to render out, and time is an issue. Is there a quicker way to do it? And what are the best settings in Natress for converting 60i to either 25p or 50i, just to be sure I’m not doing something wrong.

    I appreciate any advice, thanks.

    Any advise would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

    Choose one format to edit. I’ll assume you are working with HDV footage. You’ll need a lot of time and patience using HDV. If time is important, upgrading to a new Mac Pro with a fast RAID and plenty of RAM will speed things up.

    it’s going to be a PAL DVD and a HD mpeg2 file for playback on a PS3 (I’ll be going with compressor’s program stream preset).

    So I guess converted the 60i to 25p or 50i is the best option, any advice?

    It’s annoying really, there were 3 cameras set up, and one was on 60i when it should have been 50i.

    Any help much appreciated.
    Cheers.
