  • Convert a 29.97 EDL to 23.98

    Posted by Daniel Edelman on April 1, 2010 at 5:14 pm

    I’ve seen plenty of links for similar problems (like 24p.com) but I can’t find a simple solution for mine:
    I’m regularly given edls for capturing clips into a 23.98 project that are made from 29.97 DVD screeners (the source material is 23.98). The info on the 24p.com site shows you a few ways do do this from the get-go, but I don’t have that luxury. Someone way down the chain at another company makes these edls, using a DVD and and excel spreadsheet rigged up with macros. Until now, I had the help of a friend with a DS system (which apparently has a 30 to 24 conversion feature build in) but that is no longer an option. Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Dan

    Import the 30 frame EDL into a matchback project, Set “A” frame for pullin – Duplicate START into TC24 – make matchback 24fps EDL as per 24p.com

    I’m not sure what settings to use when creating the matchback project.
    -What format should I use? Should it match the 29.97 SD EDL I was given, or should it match the 23.98 project that the EDL will go to?
    -What should I choose for “Default Film Type”?
    Thanks,
