editing various frame rates and compressors
Hi all im working with footage with different frame rates and different compressors and different cameras ie apple pro res, apple inter codec. xdcam cannon 7d some is 1280×720 other 1920×1080 the frame rates vary i have 25fps – 23.98 and 29.97fps the final job will be on a dvd and broadcast PAL.
Whats the best way of doing this? I was thinking of going to easy setup and selecting Aja Kona LH- 1080i 25 pros res as my preset or a 720p setup, then edit all the footage and then render out the different frame rates that need rendering. I have tried a few tests it looks ok but not quite right the cannon 7d is flickering a bit and the other frame rates mixed together look a bit off, i have about 1.5 TB of footage on my hands I hope im not walking into a world of pain here. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Emmet -

Hi Dave thanks for the advice at the moment i have various timelines with footage thats all synced up to external sound which was synced with a clapper board., this is what i was given to work with. so we are talking here about sequences with various formats apple pro res 25 being the main which is good because i wont have to touch that, i just need to convert everything else to match the apple pro res 25fps but if i convert my video this will then cause issues with my sync sound when i bring the footage back in. another question, if i convert the video and then dump the original to another drive as a backup disconnect that drive my timelines should all reconnect to my new converted media, thus saving me a lot of time? then i just need to figure out the audio. What do you think? Thanks Emmet
