Help Fixing Editor Mistakes for DVD
Hi,
I am supposed to make a DVD for a producer/director/editor/DOP…you get the idea… Anyway, here is what he’s done (don’t ask why either…nobody will ever know):
-Shot in 1080i60 HDV
-Captured 1080i60 HDV
-Imported into a 1080i50 HDV sequence
-Edited entirely in 1080i50 HDV sequences
-Sent the audio and video files to a sound mixer who sent him back one giant .aif file for the entire video (37 minutes)Now he wants NTSC DVD’s, but obviously when I copy to a 1080i60 sequence to export to Compressor the audio doesn’t match.
To get 1080i60 files to compressor to play on a DVD at 29.97 what would you do?
Thank you!

Export the piece with audio as PAL, then convert to NTSC.
Ouch…ouch ouch ouch.

Create a 1080i60 sequence export movie drop it into compressor. Charge the producer/director/editor/DOP accordingly.

I think you need to reconform his entire film. Make sure that he’s paying by the hour. And get a good sized deposit, in case he decides to walk away before you’re done.

This is what I was afraid of…I think I either have to go back to the beginning or finish as PAL and convert after the fact…
I can’t think of any other way to get out of it…even if I drop into 1080i60 sequence that doesn’t fix the audio that is timed to 25fps…
Any other thoughts?

If you have access to his 50i project, then try to copy & paste all the clips from that into a 60i timeline. With luck, you’ll only need to adjust some in/out points. If the audio drifts, you may have to pull it down by 0.1%.
