help: Deleting duplicate frames from this clip
clip is located here:
https://www.d-work.us/temp/panasonic_P2/clip01.mov
this clip is just one of many.
I’m not sure if it was shot at 24p or 24pn. We shot it using an HVX-200. I do know that we set the camera to shoot in movie mode in the scene settings using 24 frame/sec recording speed. Now the clips shows a frame rate 59.94 which I’m fine with. Obviously it has duplicate frames. After much research in this forum I concluded I had to import into FCP then use the DVCPRO HD Frame Rate Converter. I’m trying to convert the clip down to work in a 24p project. I want to get rid of the duplicate frames. After my conversion, the clip still has duplicate frames. BTW I saw the tutorial on how to convert these clips via the FRC – no luck

What version of FCP did you import these into?
What version are you using the clips with?

Try this:

It worked. Now how u do that? 🙂
BTW, I imported the files using the P2 Import option with FCP 5.1.1 and I’m using the clips with the same system FCP 5.1.1.
Thanks in advanced.

Ok,
The FRC only seems to work on un-edited 59.94 720 clips.
I mean clips that are dumped direct from P2.
It does not seem to work correctly if the shot
was saved again at 59.94.
Typically you would only shoot 59.94 for high-action
sequences where you want to make slo-mo shots.
But with the HVX200 you can shoot 24pN at 60fps anyway.
Many times I have shot at 48 fps and if I need the clip
in regular motion it’s speeded up 200%.But I digress……
Take your 59.94 clips, drop into a 720 60p sequence.
Export: Using QuickTime Conversion.
OPTION>Setting>Compressor: DVCPRO HD 720p60
Frame Rate: Custom 23.976
(I think if you pick 24 it is the same rate, regardless the info shows it as 23.98 in FCP)I learned this after many shooters sent me re-encoded clips at 59.94
that the FRC did not like. I avoid 59.94 and the FRC when I can. -
I have answered my own question!
You cannot shoot 24pN on a firestore or direct into computer….
So if you wanted better slo-mo, you would shoot 720 60p
if you are not shooting with a P2 card. Then use the FRC
to extract slo-mo….. -
Thanks guys for the help. That solution worked perfect. I wasted almost a whole day of work trying to figure this one out. Thanks again.
