Shoot Me in the Face – 720p/60p Salvaging
Don’t ask… I’ve already kicked myself enough, lets just find a solution. I kind of already know there isn’t going to be a perfect one, so I’ll take what I can get.
I consider myself to be fairly competent with the HVX. I’m comfortable with it. But, for reasons I won’t go into today, when I double checked the settings to shoot some slow-mo 60fps stuff in 720p/24pn today, I saw “720p/60p” under Recording Setup and my brain said “All set to go!”
And then I started shooting.
So now I have some ugly super smooth 60p footage, instead of the wonderful looking 24fps overcrank I was hoping for.
I need to find a way to salvage this footage. I don’t care about the slow motion part anymore, I just need to get it to “look” 24p. I know it’s not going to be perfect, but do you guys have any magic workflows?
I’m using Final Cut Studio 2, and have access to After Effects if necessary.
Thanks guys! I really appreciate your quick responses!

Open the clip in cinema tools, click the conform button and choose 23.98.
There, slo mo.

Ironically, I figured that out about 20 minutes after I posted! Thanks guys so much, you’re awesome. I’ve been dancing around the room all night. Too bad I downed a red bull to prepare for a long night of troubleshooting before I found out the answer! Easy as pie!

Glad my nightmare provided you with some entertainment.

I always wondered what the hell cinema tools did? Now I know, I’ll have to look into what else it does.

Cinema Tools was created to a help in preserving a 24p film workflow when off lining from NTSC tape.
The conform trick is an exploitation of some of it’s features and wasn’t really designed to do what has been suggested here, although it does work pretty well. The Cinema Tools manual is pretty light and easy to read. You will get a sense of what it does right away.
Theses days, you can also use Compressor for conforming and pulldown removal.
