Can 60i be made to “match” 24P?
I did a search of both forums and found nothing, I consider this a bigger challenge than a Basics question. Here goes:
I was using an HVX200 and had set and SAVED a scene file for 480/24P and shot a tape with it (no shutter), then when I changed the battery the scene file setting did not save (perhaps the internal lithium is dead or I hit a SW button?) and reverted the camera to 480/60i. I shot awhile in that mode until I noticed it and changed back to 24P.
My question is: Is there a filter or technique that will make the 60i footage look more like the 24P footage? The final viewing will be on DVD.
Thank you!

You can also give Compressor a try.
Change Video Frame rate to custom 23.976 (not 24) under the encoder tab then,
Turn on Frame Control
Output Fields: Progressive
Deinterlace: BestThe 2 sliders are for resizing so leave them alone.
Test short segments
give it a shot since this is free to try, be for warned anything that does a good job with take some time to encode, heavy lifting here.
Red Giant also has Magic Bullet Frames, we use to use the 24p convert years ago and it did a very good job, have not used the new version.

Can’t check, but doesn’t Cinema Tools conform 60i to 24p? I’d be suprised if it didn’t….
Note that if your footage lacks the ‘progressive’ look when converted, you could use one of the many film filters to achieve it (such as Nattress) or (quick and dirty) just de-interlace it…

CinemaTools is supposed for progressive footage. if you Conform some interlaced footage as progressive you will end up with something very ugly.

I just tried this technique in compressor, and the footage came out looking choppy. Any suggestions as to what I’m doing wrong?
