  Cinema Tools 30fps –> 24fps EDL conversion / EDL names

  Posted by Sithcommander on May 20, 2005 at 9:17 pm

  Our offline edit is 29.97 fps offlineRT (low-res).
  Our online edit will be 24 fps 1080i24 HDCam (8-bit uncompressed) via Kona2.

  In order to convert the project, I use cinematools EDL conversion from 30fps to 24fps, then re-import into my online sequence.

  Reading up on onlining and EDL protocol, it’s been mentioned that REEL names should be short and alpha-numerics only, otherwise the EDL won’t allow proper re-capture.

  My reel names are uniformly: SCE-35001
  (three letters, a dash, and 5 numbers).

  Questions:
  1. Do I change Reel numbers and if so, how?…can I change the master clip Reel # and will that do it?
  2. What EDL format do I use? CMX 3600?
  3. Any other hints, advice, suggestions for using Cinematools and K2?

  Thanks in advance.
