I guess since no one else had responded, I’ll at least tell you what I know. I assume you’re in a PAL country and shot 50 with the intent of playing it back at 25 for a 2X over crank effect. I also assume that the process is the same as 60/30 in NTSC, which is what I’m basing my answer on. If you just choose 60P as your recording format, and bring it into a 60P Avid project, it will play at 60P, or normal speed. If you want to shoot 2X over, you need to go into the Recording Setup menu and select 720/30P (or 720/25P), now go into the Scene File menu, select Film Cam for Operation Type and then set the Frame Rate to 60, (50). You will now have a 30P clip shot at 60P, so when you bring it into a 30P project in Avid, it will play at 30, or half speed, which I assume is what you are trying to do.
What I do not know is how to bring a clip shot at 50/60 into a 25/30 project. I’m hoping someone else here might be able to help out as I would like to know myself.
