1080 cross conversion question
I’m finishing a music video in 1080/23.98. In delivery specs they specifically want 1080/29.97
I see Kona 3 doesn’t have the option to do this conversion (23.98 to 29.97i). Would you simply add 3:2 in After Effects?

Oh yes it does. SImply change your video output in FCP to 1080i (8 or 10 bit).
Sweet huh?

yes it does set the output to 29.97 and the card adds the pulldown.

Ah, thanks lads, was not aware!
In all my HD travels, have never actually needed to make 1080i from 1080p. I don’t have a deck till tomorrow to experiment – is there anything I need to do timeline wise to layoff (23.98 fps to 29.97 HDCAM)

Nope. this conversion is done in hardware by the Kona.
It’s handy.
Be sure that your pulldown pattern is set up properly in your Kona control Panel.

I sometimes need to deliver several versions from a master. I prefer to master 1080Psf 23.98 to HDCam and do the conversions from the deck. 1080Psf 23.98 will let you go anywhere

NO Doug, you are insane! Why the eff would you EVER work in 23.98? You work in TV! Everything is base 30, don’t you know that?
Just kidding.
