    Anyone have experience with this? Gary? Walter?

    When I select the 59.94 file to be converted, I get the error “No video file found in selected clip.” There is video there…

    The clip needs to be in the browser for the tool to work, not in the Viewer, so ensure that you’re doing that.

    Also, whenever I use the tool, I move all the clips to be converted to their own project, convert all the clips, then bring them back to the main project.

    Thanks Walter.

    It was in the browser, but didn’t work. I brought it into a new project and the conversion worked like a charm.

    Sweet!

    Great! Yep, that’s one of those ‘gotchas’ that I’ve found with DVCPro HD.

    I have run into this also when using a portable drive for my scratch disk and that disk went offline then was reset at a later point. I have also seen this after a hard crash.

    So what is the benefit of using this method as opposed to shooting in 720pN and selecting a frame rate of 60? Is the 60p converted to 23.98 a better quality image? thanks in advance!
