23.98/29.97/59.94 all in same sequence
Hello,
I am starting to edit a documentary that was shot DVCPRO HD (960×720, 720p) with the HVX-200 at a frame rate of 23.98. Fine so far, except, there is lots of archive footage that is SD, 29.97. I’ve read a bunch of posts about this, and was wondering what your opinion was about the best way to convert the 29.97 footage to 23.98 – Nattress plug-in, JES deinterlacer (never used before), or can you do it in compressor? I’ve tried dropping the 29.97 footage in the 23.98 timeline and rendering, but it doesn’t handle it very well. This is a budget issue, so I can’t ask the producer to process all the footage through a teranex. Also, one camera operator shot at a frame rate of 59.94 – is that a problem?
Thank you,
Jake

Try the Natress plugin, there’s a free demo. If that’s not good enough you’d better at least tell the producer about the Teranex option so it won’t come back to bite you later.

The SD 29.97 stuff, you can use Nattress. That works well. But what I did in that situation was capture as DV resolution, cut it into the show and worked with it just in an “offline” sense. Then when we locked picture we captured all the footage that was used at a higher resolution (uncompressed 10-bit), output to digibeta, used a Terranex to upconvert, then captured back. We had DV footage that we used the Advanced COnversion options in Compressor to convert, all the FRAME OPTIONS at best quality.
And 59.94, I just used NAttress. Worked great.
