    I am trying to figure out the best possible way/software to convert 29.97p to 24p with the least amount of motionblur

    So far, I tried AVID. I imported the 29.97 footage into a 24fps project, changed the timewarp effect to fluidmotion (progressive to progressive) and the results were ok.

    I also used a videocopilot tool in AE with great effect but insane rendertimes that are not feasible for this project.

    My next try will be with NUKE but I wanted to see if anyone knew a good method that doesn’t require 2-4 hours rendertime for 2 minute of footage (I’ve got hours to convert for a very specific reason on a VFX project).

    Thanks!

    Two options: Insane render times, or insane cost. You can rent a Terranex and run your tapes through that, or you can use compressor / after effects to remap. If you use Compressor, turn on Frame Controls and turn rate conversion to “Better”. You’re still going to get high conversion times.

    If it’s a large project over a period of time you may consider just buying one (Teranex that is):

    I deal with this everyday at work. I use either compressor to change the frame rate or media encoder. We are always converting 29.97 go pros for import into avid 23.98 projects. Consider those programs.
