Mixed frame rate smoothing PP vs MC
I have been working on a project with both 720/25 & 720/29.97 material. The best way of handling seems to be use AE to do the standards conversion but the PP “frame blend” is a quicker, simpler but lower image quality option. Avid MC has “FluidMotion effect” for different frame rate and I was wondering if it is better than the PP frame blend.
Does anyone have any experience?
Cheers

Hi Andy,
I’d be interested in this answer as well.
With FCP/Motion there is the option of “OpticalFlow” (a feature ripped from the hands of Shake) – I imagine it’s similar to what you’re used to with Avid. I still send clips to Motion for that treatment if required because I haven’t found a suitable alternative workflow in PrPro/AE that doesn’t include Twixtor.
But I’m still relatively new when it comes to Adobe’s video production apps.

Avid applies a “motion adapter” to mixed rate clips (clips that don’t match the project rate). This plays in real time. The quality is decent, but to get the highest quality, you have to switch it to Fluid Frame, which takes a very, very long time to render.
