Need some advice with frame rate conversion

[Evan Warner]

Isaac,

Did you ever figure out a solution to your ghosting? I’m trying to do a conversion from 23.976 to 25 fps for a PAL release and am getting the exact same ghosting on my clips using compressor. None of my clips are interlaced to begin with and considering I’m only making up for ~1 extra frame I was really hoping compressor would do the trick. I have tried both best and better motion compensation and get the same results.

Here’s a screen grab. Check out the arm. And no this isn’t motion blur because it’s not present in the original clip. Any ideas?

Cheers

Are there any solutions for the problem that Evan described above? 1.5 years later, I am facing the same problem, using apple compressor and trying to convert 23,9 fps to 25 fps. I can either choose beetween “ghost” pictures after converting with the best “movement compensation” in the compressor settings… or a slightly stuttering picture without ghost pictures.

Greetings, Maik

That is the only way, if you don’t want to change the speed…ie CONFORM 24fps to 25fps, therefore speeding it up 4%. Even the Terranex converters either repeat a frame, or have slight ghosting. There is no smooth way to add one frame per second…unless you adjust the speed.
