thanx johnathan

i suppose i could try that(doing a comp at 24)

but i want to make a 1 to 1 frame relation ship so i can bring the footage back into my nle (now at 30 fps, actually 29.97) and slow it down to whatever speed i want, giving me some flexibility on the editing side.

i am using an older NLE to edit a show that was all shot on the dvx100. when i start to slow down shots for better studying of the content (its a training video) i get motion artifacts from the 3:2 pulldown inherent in the footage. SO i was trying to remoce the cadence

its a better workflow for me to have the stuff at 30.

and i really appreciate all the great advice everyone has given me, but i really just want to know the number, or where i could find out?

hi

thanx dave! actually the pull down has not been removed! what the dvx100 does is shoot at 24(or 23.97) BUT lays it onto tape at 29.97 interlaced.

the “guessed” interploation that AE put on my test clip is WWWSS.

what i want to do is, once the stuff is interpreted, speed it up to 29.97 so i will have a one to one relationship between the 23.97 video frames and the 29.97 video frames

(i realize some of the frames might only be a field, but i can deal with that)

in other words, we used to transfer 24 fps footage (16 or 35) at 30 fps, treat it/effect it/speed it up or slow it down/then put the 3:2 cadence back in for mastering. so i am trying to replicate that here

so thats why i wanted to know the value of speed change, and make sure its exact, since AE will blur footage slightly if speeds / frame rates are even a little off.

BTW using AE 5.5 on PC winnt

hi noah thanx!

unfortunately, i have no access to re:timer, nor will i.(can you say low budget?) However i agree that its awesome compared to just slowing stuff down.

the NLE i am using does do a decent job, using frameblending, variable interpretation, half and quarter field vertical compensation. And on video projects in the past, its been happily accepted by client.

Soooooo, that being said, just wanna know how to minimize or eliminate the apparent frame jumping, ie judder, that i get when i slow down material thats 3:2.

(i know i can run it through AE, but i may have a lot of clips to slow down, so if i could do some combination of speed up, strobing, slowdown, to smooooth it out, that would be better

thanx again
