DVCPRo HD 720p60 frame rate conversion
Hi there~
We have a series where 95% of it was shot with the HDX900 – 720p24 (23.98) There were some host inserts that have been shot with the HVX200 – P2 – 720p60 (29.97). Obviously when the host clips join the show sequences (Pixel aspect ratio HD 960×720, Edit timebase 23.98, Compressor DVCProHD 720p60) we are seeing a stutter motion – which I assume is the difference in frame rate. I was wondering what the easiest way is to correct the footage. As they are links, there isn’t a lot – minutes mostly.I haven’t had success yet with the Frame Rate converter – I may be missing a step. I was considering going out to tape, and then recapturing.
I am open to suggestions – if anyone has one. Hopefully we are not looking at re-shooting.
Thanks,
Andrea -

Batch conform in Cinema Tools?

If you’re referring to the Panasonic Frame Rate Converter, that’s only going to work if the footage was shot using the Varicam slomo rates, as it will be removing duplicate frames, but if your footage was shot 720p 59.94, you’ll need a different method of converting it to 23.976. You could use the Advanced Format Conversions in Compressor. Shane posted a nice video about this (Though it was converting DV to DVCPRO, but the same basic principle applies). Here’s the link https://lfhd.blogspot.com/2006/10/dv-to-dvcpro-hd.html

Simply edit in a 59.94 timeline. FCP will add the proper pulldown to the 23.98 material, although the motion characteristics are going to be different.
