Activity Forums Apple Final Cut Pro Legacy Mixing Frame Rate in the same project

  • Mixing Frame Rate in the same project

    Posted by Kurtis Penny on January 2, 2011 at 10:37 pm

    Like a buffoon, I only realized I had was working with different time frame rates in the same project. One of my sequences is in 29.98 while others are in 24 p. The problem is that they must eventually be combined into the same TV broadcast timeline in the same frame rate. Can I create an edit list in the offending time lines and essentially recapture or recreate in the frame rate as the other timelines?
    That or are there any other suggestions. I’m halfway through editing. Thanks.

    You may not have a problem actually. Does the 24p material have a pulldown or did you remove it? If it’s still there, you really have everything at 29.97.

    Thank you for your reply Jerry.

    I don’t believe it does have a pull down. Is it something that would have to be done deliberately.

    Basically most of the doc is shot 24 p on a Sony Ex3.
    Because a small amount of footage came from a 60i tape we accidentally set some of the sequences to full size 60i 29.98 while new ones were started at 24p. Now we have some sequences in 60i and a few in 24 p and different sizes which I don’t believe is a problem. However, apparently the frame rates are. Am I wrong. Eventually we’ve got to put all of these together on a single timeline, naturally.

    How do the 24p clips look in a 29.97 sequence?

    I just moved over some footage to see what happens. And It looks fine.
    I’m not seeing or hearing anything.
    An assistant editor told me you this was some kind of crucial dilemma. BUt If I understand you. It’s not a problem as WYSIWYG?

    I should think WYSIWYG… I think the 24p footage has a pulldown pattern in it.

    Thank you. I think I’ll test with a bunch of footage and then proceed.
    I’m not sure what the concern was.

    Thanks again.
