Converting to 29.97
If I’m working in a 23.98 timeline but have to make an output to 29.97, what would be the best way to do that?
To give a little background if it helps.
The original 1-lite transfer digibetas will come as 29.97 but the post house wants me to send back an edl and pull list at 23.98. However, the audio mixer needs an omf and offline at 29.97. (The audio people are providing me aiffs for me to sync with the digibetas.)
Also, would the post house need to send me a flex file so I can do a reverse telecine in Cinema Tools?
Thanks,
PK

Generally I always get flex files when the lab transfers film to video. Are you doing a film-out or is the post house re-transfering your negative to HD or something?
You didn’t state your deliverables.

Here is the full background (but I’ll keep it short).
Awhile back, we cut feature that was shot on 35mm. After editing, we went through the Digital Intermediate process and went back out to film. Now, we are cutting a trailer. Instead of going back to the negatives to cut, the post house is providing 1-lite digibetas at 29.97. So we are using that footage and sending back and edl with feet/frames and then will match that back to the reels (which have already been color corrected, go through their process and create a film trailer.
They want an edl, a pull list, and an offline copy.
The audio mixers are providing aiff stems of the final mix and I am synching them with the video footage from above. The audio mixers want an omf and offline at 29.97.
Hopefully, that clears things up.
Thanks,
PK
