P2 and multiple frame rates
Hi,
working on Media Composer 3.0 on a macbook pro laptop. With P2 footage, does avid allow you to work with footage shot at multiple frame rates? One card I tried to import had 3 clips at 23.98 and one clip at 59.94 – all footage is 720P. If I cannot work with both at the same time, what if any workarounds are available. Thanks.

I won’t even mention that friends don’t let friends edit P2 in Avid. Oops, I just did….

Why not? The Avid P2 workflow is pretty slick. Multiple frame rates aside…that is a whole ‘nother can of worms. YOu need to convert one frame rate to match the other. With FCP I’d use Compressor…not sure what Avid allows. Transcode perhaps? Could run a few tests.

RayLight MXFX will let you change frames rates (and other things) on P2 media, while retaining metadata.

Relinking issues with P2 in Avid.
You can find stuff in the Avid Community Forums on their website in regards to these issues.

Hi,
In an edit where 25p was being mixed with 50p in PAL land for a 25p project, I took the P2 media that was 50p and imported it into a Premiere CS3 project with settings of 25p. The Premiere project being at 25p would render the 50p P2 media into 25p video. I then used Adobe’s export P2 Media which created a virtual P2 card of the converted 50p to 25p media. I then imported that virtual P2 card back into the Avid which digested it happily.
That’s one way to do it, if you’ve got a copy of Premiere CS3 or CS4 handy. I did try to find a way to do it on the Avid but didn’t have any luck. That was Media Composer 3.
Elijah.
