    Posted by Michael Williams on September 11, 2010 at 8:50 pm

    I’ve shot interviews with the sony ex1 at 1080 24P and the 5D mk2 at the same 1080 24P. I want to work with everything in prores so I’m using MPEG Streamclip to convert footage from both cameras. At first I converted everything to 1080 24P. However I was warned against editing within FCP at an editing timebase of exactly 24fps. https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/8/1101366

    So I converted everything using the frame rate 23.98 however now my footage will slowly fall out of sync. What would be the best solution here when trying to snyc the two camera together in post using converted prores files.

    Did you have the most current firmware in the 5D so it is shooting 23.98 or is it shooting truly 24p as it originally did?
