Converting 30fps HD flip video to 25fps
Hi – been a while since I’ve posted, but this one’s got me sweating!
I’ve just been given some flip camera video 1280×720 progressive HD, 30fps, 44Khz audio, MP4 format. I need to integrate this into our 1920x1080p, 25fps, 48KHz documentary and wondering how best to convert it? It will have to be done using either compressor and/or Cinema Tools (don’t have Nattress) and to Apple Pro Res 422.
A couple of things I’m worried about –
1. The audio sync – the footage contains I/Vs
2. Upscaling the frame size – I can change this in compressor or leave as is and let FCP scale it in the timeline – either way, there’ll be a loss in quality.Alex Bluffield

Hi Alex,
Compressor will do a good job of this for you. Create a ProRes422 25fps setting and then make sure under the Frame Controls tab in the Inspector window you have…
Frame Controls: On
Resize Filter: Best (or ‘Better’ – test first)
Rate Conversion: Best (test ‘Better’ first)
Set Duration to: 100% of sourceAnd of course set it to 1920×1080 in the Geometry tab.
As I mention above, test a short segment first as the ‘Best’ resize and rate conversion settings take a long time – you may find that ‘Better’ will suffice for one or both of them.
All the best,

Forgot to add that you also need to remember to set the audio to Linear PCM/48kHz…

Thanks Alex. I’ll give this a go in Compressor.
