16mm Footage Rough and Jumpy…

[Please_do_not_use_all_caps_for_your_name_or_when_posting]

Hey There,
Sorry to bother again but I had the footage recaptured from the digibeta tape at 29.97 now I am trying to batch reverse telecine to conform the footage to 24p in cinema tools but it is saying the footage is too large? One file is 30g another is 14g. Any other ways of performing this function in cinema tools or FCP that will work for larger files?

Hi Danny..

Another possibility is to have the 16mm film scanned with a film scanner as DPX files, and loading the frames into FCP with my QuickTime components. You can then convert them to any QuickTime format you want, or work with them directly. This will eliminate the need to work with video tapes. (But doesn’t prevent you from exporting to a video tape from FCP..)

you can get the components from http://www.gluetools.com

(Contact me if you need the names of places to get the film scanned.)
