Shooting 1080 24p for 1080 60i drop frame conversion
Got a quick question that might be a old rehash. We have do deliver a project or broadcast at 1080 60i Drop Frame, and are shooting on Scarlet. The workflow that the team is using right now is to shoot at 1080 16:9 24p. They then do the whole post in 24fps once its finished they exprt, and then reimport and put it on a 60i timeline. It then has a few extra frames on the timeline, since the frame rate change, that they just cut off.
I know this can`t be the right workflow, and was wondering what the best way is to convert the final to 60i, or if we should consider shooting it that way, which they insist on the 24p look.
Thanks,
Chris -

Here is what I found in the forum from Dave LaRonde:
Make sure the footage is interpreted as 23.976, and NOT 23.98
Put the footage into a 1920×1080 comp at 59.94 frames/sec, which automatically spreads the film frate across the video frame rate
Nest the comp in another 1920×1080 comp at 29.97 frames/sec, which gets you to the proper frame rate
Render the 29.97 comp as interlaced, UPPER FIELD FIRST, which gives you the fields you wantThe result: a 108060i file, which is the same thing as a 1080 29.97 file with interlacing.

I use Apple Compressor to add a pulldown to 24p footage. not sure if it would be faster than AE or not.
