Online / Offline Workflow with 60p Footage
Hello! For an Offline / Online workflow (using DaVinci for the transcodes) for a feature doc that’s primarily shot in 23.98, is it better to retain the native 60fps frame rate and “interpret footage” in Premiere vs transcoding all the 60p footage to 23.98 beforehand?

You say you want to interpret the 60fps footage to 23.98…that means that you want to use it for smooth slow motion. If that’s the case, yeah, you’ll want to retain the frame rate. If you convert to 23.98, relinking won’t really work…and your slow motion will look poopy.
Test things. Test convert 60fps footage to an offline codec with Resolve, cut it with 23.98 footage, interpret it to 23.98 for slow motion, then send the XML to resolve and see what happens.

I’ve had problems relinking to the wrong part of the file when interpret is used and I roundtrip. Figure out the exact slow motion percentage and use that for clips in your timeline. Should be 40%, I believe.

Thanks guys, have often wondered if it’s better to interpret footage or slow it down in the timeline. Any difference in quality?
