  • Resolve and 29.97 Interlaced

    Real pain here, I’m doing a commercial spot that was all shot interlaced HD, at 29.97 (59.94), grading and monitoring in resolve is as usual, but when I go to render the piece out, it only gives me 23.98 or 24 fps. Is this a major oversight? or am I doing something.

    right now I’m limited in my options, for first looks I just rendered the clips out (the framerate conversion made that really slow) and added pull down in after effects to conform it back to the timeline in FCP, as there are still more elements coming in. do I need to keep doing this? by doing this, its screws up the amount of frames in each clip, and timecode isn’t matching, and I still have vfx that’s coming in that needs that. any work arounds or solutions?

    Sounds like your project was setup as 24fps.

    If you’re working with 59.94 footage, your “Timecode calculated at” should be set to 60, video monitoring to 59.94, and playback framerate to 30.

    Unfortunately I don’t think you can change the timecode framerate while there’s a master session in a project. You might have to start a new one and use ColorTrace to transfer grades

    Timecode should be calculated at 30. 60 is for 720P/60.

    it’s working like a charm now, i previously tried creating a new master session, but neglected to see the “timecode is calculated at” drop down. did a color trace, like butter now. Love this forum.

    My issue is quite different and very pressing. I have a long clip 01:41:55:xx. it is 1920×1080 29.97p and after grading the whole film exported at over two hours….Unusable! I set the time code at the main page to 30 which I assumed was 29.97 or at least would see the footage as such but it obviously didn’t. Does this thing not work with this type of footage? The audio is completed and is currently encoded to Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby AC3 Stereo. The originals are fine but after I graded the project well I’m sure I don’t need to explain. Anyone have any ideas? it there a setting somewhere? Did I miss something….
