big mistake-edited 24p in 25fps timeline
Hi
I have just realised a big mistake I have made and need to rectify. I have edited footage shot at 23.98 fps (DVCPro HD 720p60) on a 25 fps timeline (DVCPro HD 720p60).
The project has been sound mixed etc so effectively it has all been finished.
So does this mean that the speed of the final video is actually playing back slightly incorrectly in comparison to the footage?If I now copy and paste the edit from the 25fps timeline to a 23.98 which I should have been working on, then the sound is all out of sync with the wav from the sound mix as this was sent off at 25fps.
If I conform the exported 25fps video in cinema tools back to 23.98 does this effectively rectify the problem? Obviously this make the whole video longer than it was but if I had edited correctly at 23.98 in the first place then I assume it would have been this length anyway.
I realise this was a stupid mistake but any advice on what to do now would be great.
Thanks

ok
I didn’t shoot the footage and was handed it already digitised and in a FCP project. The specs of the raw footage in FCP states fps at 23.98 and compression codec as DVCPro HD 720p60, size at 960×720.
So from that I should have worked native on a timeline that matches this. However the fps of my timeline is set to 25fps with the compression codec set to DVCPro HD 720p60 and size 960×720.
So my final product is a PAL movie when it should be 23.98 fps (NTSC) no?

nope… didn’t have to render at all and there didn’t appear to be any issues with the speed at which the footage played back, hence why i didn’t pick up on it.
If if create a new sequence at 23.98 fps and simply duplicate the edit into this, the time increases from 9mins 30 to 10 mins. This means that the sound mix which is a .wav is now playing all out of sync.

but FCP doesn’t allow you to alter the frame rate of a timeline that has already has an edit on it.
