how do you online variable frame rates?
I have slow motion varible frame footage. I am about to do an online and capture the DVCPROHD footage @ 8 bit uncompressed using my Blackmagic HD Decklink. But I have been told that FCP’s frame rate convertor doesn’t work on uncompressed footage, only footage natively in the DVCPROHD codec. So, can anyone tell me how to capture and convert the slow mo footage to 23.98 using a Blackmagic HD declink via SDI?
thanks in advance,

Recapture those shots over firewire with a 1200A deck so they can be properly resolved or run the originals through a Panasonic Framerate Convertor box.

Well, I don’t need to recapture the slo-mo over firewire- I still have the original captures. So that’s one step out of the way.
But what do you mean by “be properly resolved”. Can I use cinema tools to slow to 59.94 to 23.98?

Blackmagic cards automatically convert off speed footage as you import. No need to use the frame rate converter. I would check the black magic web site for additional details.

Chris,
haven’t heard this before and couldn’t find anything on Blackmagic’s website to verify it. IF so do you know the settings that would be necessary? Have you done it? OR can you direct to someplace documenting this?
thanks,
