Clip rate does not match – using Panasonic P2 files
‘m a newbie to the P2 world. We shot a bunch of footage (190 GB) using the HVX200. The HVX was ‘B’ camera to the Varicam.
I have figured out how to import it into a bin from an external drive using Media Tool. The Varicam footage lives in different bins. After editing the varicam footage I now want to see the P2 footage. Except the only footage I can see is footage we shot overcranked on the HVX. I get the error message “Clip frame rate (59940) does not match project frame rate (23976)”
With MCA 2.2.3 (PC) is there any way to convert the frame rates? (Using Consolidate or Transcode commands – I’ve never used them before.)
I have been able to see the clips in a new project built in 59.940. But this process of exporting multiple clips in a transcodes .mov from this secondary project to the original seems rife with problems down the line.
Does anyone have a better work around?
Thanks

Not sure if AVID has a transcode workflow that solves this problem.
You can export uncompressed quicktimes (animation codec @ 23.976) from your 59.94 project and then re-import them into your 23.976 project. But this only makes sense when you aren’t dealing with lots of footage. It takes TIME.
What setting did you shoot with on the P2?

Good question. My DP went back and forth with settings before we started shooting. We settled on a best guess, but were clearly wrong. Oops. Lesson learned.
It isn’t the end of the world. The footage is usable and it looks great. It will just be the long way around the bend this time.
Thanks
