  Workflow – 60p to 30p for sport slo-mo

  Posted by Josh Haggard on June 15, 2011 at 5:10 pm

  I am shooting a sporting event with two HMC-40s at 720/60p.

  The idea is to edit in a 30p sequence, giving the option of true slo-mo replays from the 60p footage.

  The content will all be delivered via web.

  Three Questions:

  1: Should I just conform all the clips to 30 FPS and then change the speed of the replay clips?

  2: I am editing offline in Pro Res Proxy. Do I need to do anything special when I recapture the footage at Pro Res HQ if I have conformed the offline clips?

  3: Is this the best way to set up this workflow?

  Thanks,
  Josh

  [Josh Haggard] “1: Should I just conform all the clips to 30 FPS and then change the speed of the replay clips?”
  Once you conform in Cinematools, the clips will run at 50% speed.

  [Josh Haggard] “2: I am editing offline in Pro Res Proxy. Do I need to do anything special when I recapture the footage at Pro Res HQ if I have conformed the offline clips?”
  You can not recapture the conformed footage.
  FC can not see relation between the conformed files and the original footage: Different time-base, clips length, date, reel number,..
  THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THAT YOU CONFORM ONLY DUPLICATED CLIPS.
  CONFORMING IS A DESTRUCTIVE PROCESS.
  CINEMATOOL CAN NOT CONFORM BACK TO P60.

  Thank you.

  I think it is gonna be a case of:
  editing the 60p footage in a 30p timeline
  media managing into a new project and recapturing only the relevant clips
  Duplicating the .movs of this project .
  Conforming the duplicates to 30 fps.
  Importing the duplicates.
  Using in the 30p timeline where appropriate.

  My word.

  Thanks again.
