    What is the best way to Convert 30 fps to 24 fps

    I have Blackmagic footage shot at 30 frames and 180 shutter angle

    It was supposed to be shot at 24, somehow the settings were forgotten to be changed to 24.

    Will it make sense to convert and will it make a difference?

    OK, the real frame rate is:

    Filmed at 30 (BMCC) and as you say I need 23.976

    Yes I need to preserve the speed…

    Will twixtor still work, and are there down sides???

    I know that VideoCoPilot has a preset for AE as well…

    Just want to find the best conversion.

    Im sure its 30 frames, i shot at 30 frames, the camera was set to 30 frames progressive.

    Is there a big difference between a production house and twixtor etc?

    hoe much material are we talking about?

    doing a hardware pass through something like a Terranex can get a lot done quickly.
    If you have just a small amount of material, or a lot of time, I find I can get effectively the same results in Apple Compressor. Either process requires a knowledgeable operator. And if you are cutting in Avid, their timeline frame rate conversion tools should not be ignored.

    This is a task that Twixtor should excel at but I find that very few people know how to effectively use this very finicky tool.

    Well its one commercial thats 1 min…

    and another short doc at 3 mins.

    Question, should this be done to the raw files or after editing so the final product?

    Is there any loss..

    I would prefer twixtor as I do not own the mentioned hardware. That is if it can do the same quality job as the hardware.

    Maybe i can find some good tuts….
