  • 23.98 shoot ,to 29.97 edit, and back to 23.98?

    Posted by Scott Sutter on December 23, 2011 at 1:41 pm

    Worked on a feature doc that was shot 23.98 hdcam, captured all footage 29.97 through jh3 deck with 3:2 pulldown. edit was done in avid symphony 5.0 and all was good.

    client is wondering if we can deliver 23.98 hdcam?
    short of recapturing in 23.98, how would I even go about spitting out my sequence info and reonline/recapture in avid?

    anything is possible but short of eyematching all the footage is there a simple way to recapture in 23.98 while retaining the current edit?

    thank you

    Scott,

    I have a suggestion you can try out, but I’m not a hundred percent on this, so definitely make a full back up and don’t delete any original media before doing this.

    It’s possible to click on your bin(s) and export them as .ALE files. Then from the finder (mac), open them in Text Edit (or Wordpad Windows) and change the FPS from 29.97 to 23.976. Save.

    Make new 23.976 project, import bins, recapture at 23.976 and see what happens. Might be worth a quick experiment with just a sequence bin and one capture bin at first to see how it goes and if the edits line up.

    Craig
