Lesson learned with DVCProHD, 60P, and Windows Media
I have been wrestling with these issues for a couple of days, so I figured I would post these solutions.
If you are bringing 60P DVCPro footage (HVX 200, HPX500, etc.) into PP CS3, and are planning to slow it down, simply interpret it as your “project” framerate (In my case 24P), and it will play in slow motion, then use time remapping to adjust the speed upward if needed. My problem? I did the exact opposite. Premiere did interpret my footage as 60P, but still removed the extra frames so that it would play as 24P. So when I used time remapping to slow it down, I go the usual interpolation slow mo.
For Windows Media export, and possibly other exports, make sure you also remove frame blending on every clip you plan on slowing down. If you are wondering why, these samples demonstrate the difference…
(Sorry, large files)
With frame blending:Hope that can help someone…
Cheers,
