Editing on 25 fps timbase with DVCPRO HD 60p compressor?
Hi
Joined a project midway. It seems that it was shot in mixed formats and resolutions.
The other editor told me that some of the footage was captured as 60p by mistake.Then they ran it through quicktime player and exported to DVCPRO HD 25 fps.The timecode of these converted clips skip by 1 frame and then match with the original TCR(Burnt in while capturing) periodically.
They plan to recapture the clips at correct setting after the editing is done. So will there be any problem?
And the editing is being done on the timeline with 25 fps base but the compressor is set at DVCPRO HD 60p.
Is this 60p going to cause any trouble? Or it just about the image quality and 25 fps time base will take care of everything?

What a nice mess. What is the original camera codec and frame rate? How the hell did they capture 25 frame footage as 60p? Is it Varicam?
When you say the timecode matches apart from the odd skip, are you comparing the converted clip code to the camera original code?
Have you tried opening a new sequence and dragging a single file into the sequence and letting it adjust the settings to match? If not, do that and see firstly what the sequence settings are and if the footage still skips. The recapture could be a nightmare if the sequence settings are fighting between compressor settings and timcode base.

Yes, The video has burn in time code from the capturing stage. So I guess it has to be the camera original code.
I will try to post the details today.
