Converting 720p59.94 to 23.98
Hello All
First of all I’ll appreciate those who take the time to reed this post.
We are cutting a documentary that initially was intend to be broadcast and finish at 1080i but now my client has some founding and try to do a theatrical release.
All footage was shoot on P2 720p60 (59.94) we edit, color mixed and finish with same specs, and then using a Kona3 card upress and convert to a final HDCam SR at 1080i 29.97, All seams fine until there
The problem now is that to do a film printout Technicolor is requesting a 23.98 master, I try almost all setups for inputs / outputs of my Kona cards (3 & Lhi) with no luck to convert.
Im trying to export a uncompress 720p60 quicktime and either send it to compressor or to FCP with a 29.98 setup.
Other option is to rent a Teranex and let it do a hardware conversion.
Honestly this is my first experience converting 720p(59.94 to a 23.98 workflow, in the past we work on true 24p so no hassle.
I’m kind of lost in this so any direction is very welcome, any reference info or any place I can figure it out.
Thanks again.

Hi Juan Carlos,
The Kona is very good for up/downscaling in RT, but not for Standard Conversion (time-base).

You may try Compressor (Frame Control ON, Retiming BETTER), but If you can afford the Teranex, don’t look for any other solution. I’ve never used my self but there is a general agreement about that is the best solution with difference.

Technicolor probably has either a Teranex or an Alchemist. Ask them how much extra it would cost for them to do it. I suspect it would be less than you renting a Teranex. Plus, they already know how it works.
