  Conform 59,94 to 24

  Posted by Sergio Deustua on January 14, 2008 at 12:14 pm

  Hi everyone

  I have this movie shot in Varicam and edited in DVCPROHD 720p60, so it is in 59,94 fps.
  Now I need to make the transfer for film so I need it in 24 fps.
  So, what is the best method to do this?

  you can just drop the higher frame rate footage into a 24 fps comp. that will drop out frames while maintaining timing.

  however, it will give the effect of shooting at a rather tight shutter angle and have less motion blur than if the footage had been shot at 24 fps with a normal shutter angle.

  you could try enabling frame blending (layer>frame blending>frame mix) to utilize the frames that you are dropping to help create a smoother, motion-blur-like effect. the draw back is if the movement is fairly great from frame to frame, frame mix will produce a stepped appearance rather than a smooth, motion-blur-like appearance that film/shot footage would have. so it really depends a lot on the footage.
