Can I convert 30P shot material into 24P?

[Caton Clark]

It’s coming off a panasonic camera and loaded from DV tape. I don’t know much about these cameras, but it was described as a camera with two settings. One setting was a 24P setting and the other was processed through some kind of chip that gives it a sharper look and may or may not be the equivalent of 30P. The description got vague when the discussion of the chip started.

Sounds really weird to me and perhaps the person who is telling you this has no idea what they are talking about, or know just enough to spread bad rumors.

It sounds like it was shot on a DVX100 or similar.

Shooting in 24p or 30p still produces 29.97 images.

All the advice you got here so far is good, but it’s going to be hard to get 24p from 30p.

Try nattress or fields kit. They are both cheap and if your producers can tell a difference between the two, then they need to spend money to fix a problem that shouldn’t have been there in the first place or make the shooter’s agency pay for it. If not, they must live with it.
