25fps on 29.97 back to 25fps.
Hi guys.
I took on job to grade and finish a feature length indie film.
Problem is that the editor who used to work on the film cut the 25fps footage on 29.97fps timelines. We are in PAL-country so we are going out as PAL 25fps.I started the following process: create new timelines with correct settings (25fps as the original footage), copy the files from 29.97 timeline to 25, manually sync it back again and remove flash frames. But since there’s like 50 scenes or so, could anyone suggest more economical workflow.
Also, it’s a big project with lots of sequences in it, so it has started to take a toll on the computer. I would like to media manage the project to get more performance out of the equipment (iMac), but am not sure should I first tackle the frame rate issue?Any suggestions would be more than welcome.
Cheers,It’s like what Lenin said… you look for the person who will benefit, and, uh, uh…

Nothing to do Pete, except what you are doing now.
Time-base is not an attribute that you can remove.

Well said, Rafael.

Thanks guys. I did fear this would be the case.
Is there anything to concern if I do the media managing first before this labourous effort? I would like to get wee bit more performance out the machine and was thinking media managing the project at this stage might take the size of the project down thus making the machine perform better.Cheers

What are you trying to do? Just keep a few sequences? Delete a few sequences?
