1080 i 59.94 to 23.98 Kona 2

Carmello,

You have a huge problem on your hands. one that I had recently. The big problem is that you have to take an interlaced frame and turn it into a progressive frame. You also have to change the frame rate at the same time.

This is no easy task. I do not understand why anyone thinks that shooting interlaced frames for slomo into a progressive 23.98 timeline is a smart way to go about it.

Basically, after checking many avenues what I came up with was a way of converting the footage to 23.98 using compressor and the optical flow technology to smooth the motion artifacting. This did not make the footage look any better in slow motion it just made it decen enough to use in a 23.98 timeline.

The only 59.94 slomotion that works as advertized is the varicam slomotion. If the footage was shot varicam you would have no problems.

The biggest issue will be geeting interlaced to look good as progressive.

You might want to have allof the footage run through a box like this:

Becasue here is the even better news. You can not dub from Sony 59.94 to SOny 23.98 without a major conversion taking place.

Very complicated stuff, with no easy answer. Sorry.

This really needs to be done in hardware I have not seen acceptable results for this in software – not in HD– there are just too many things that go wrong in the interlaced to progressive conversion that software cannot currently handle. I suggest using Terranex or Ukon/ Alchemist for this type of conversion.

Gary,

These Ross productts are hardware based converters with proprietary algorythms.

This is a Canadian company and is pretty well respect for their products.

this was the link that I should have pasted

https://www.rossvideo.com/rossgear/rossgear_md/rossgear_md_conversion.html

Which is the link to a new multilink converter (very recently released), It has a host of very useful features including 59.94 to 23.98 hardware conversion including audio.

Hi,

Sorry. The Ross product is going to be released at NAB of this year. My mistake. So Terranex is the way to go.
