29.97 HDV to 23.98 ProResLT?
-
The Kona card cannot convert frame rates on ingest. Only those with similar frequencies…like 59.94 to 29.97, or 29.97 to 59.94. You cannot do 29.97 to 23.98. For that you need to use Compressor.
[William Carr] “Would a Kona card apply its conversions to existing media or must their be a signal coming in? “
Must be an incoming or outgoing signal. This is a capture card, it processes signals. Once the files have been captured, the only options are software.

I would make a test first with the Re-timing filter in “Better”.
Optical Flow (BEST) is great, but in excess, as often Compressor does, IMHO may kills the picture.
Optical Flow rebuilds the whole picture while BETTER try to keep as much as possible from the original stuff.

Rafael is correct, I forgot to change the setting in the screen capture. “Better” produces good results with a significant decrease in processing time.

Thank you very much Shane, Alan and Rafael!
I really appreciate all the knowledge, it adds to our skillsets and creates progress.I tried the indicated Compressor settings and the image quality results were great. However since this specific job’s clips are all very spontaneous handheld action situations, the stutter/steppy result is very painful on the eye.
After much testing with timelines and variables, I am about to bring all of the 23.98 clips to 59.94, which produce smoother results than 29.97. And those darned original 29.97 clips are of course also fine motion-wise in 59.94.
Yes, my media files will be huge by comparison, but for a project that expects the audience to watch an hour of handheld action, smoother is better.
