Thanks Shane,

A couple of questions:

1) I’m actually doing the interlaced to progressive conversion in After Effects as the entire film has special effects and has to be rendered anyway. I was going to use Magic Bullet for this. So, my real question is simply how to convert the timeline from 29.97 i to
24 p. Can you simply change the project specs? Or do you have to create a new 24p project and copy the 29.97 timeline into it? Or do you have to go through some other conversion?

2) Do you or does anyone have any opinion on the quality of the progressive frame conversion between Magic Bullet, DV film and Natress’s film effect?

Thanks again,

Eric

YOu have to use a converter, like Magic Bullet or Nattress for this. Just putting it into a timeline and rendering won’t give a desirable effect. Magic Bullet and Nattress both do a good job, and I doubt you’d be able to tell the difference between the two when you were done. The bit difference is that Nattress is $100, and Magic Bullet is $795
