I feel like I’m a retarded monkey now.

“How do you know all this stuff?

‘Dude…I don’t know, there’s a lot of stuff rolling around up there.'”

I have a new strategy now, do what you say to do.

Hopefully you won’t hear from me again, for your sake of sanity. Thanks for your help!

I’m not a complete moron, some parts are still missing.

“Wanna tell me some more about why you want a 29.97 timebase?”

I’m doing this for a class at film school, and the professor wants all projects on a 29.97 timebase. 29.97 is always the default timebase we work on, PLUS, I’m comfortable with 29.97, that’s what I always edit on. But at this point…I just want to edit, because I’m falling behind and don’t want to be in post for 6 months, I like to edit as I go.

so, In short….for me….

I just want to edit my footage, put it together, get the final product onto DVD and DV tape, (which is 29.97) at this point I don’t care what I edit on (rather it be 29.97, but I’ll take what I get), I just want the footage to match and not jump in any way. (Frame rate/resolution and all that jazz) And not have problems when I want to send it out.

Now that that is all said, final question, any tips on the original question?

“Do you mean 720p24 over 60? There is no 720p24 – 29.97. Can you please explain? Did you mean you didn’t shoot 24pN?”

I have 720/24p over 60, already in FCP at 29.97, for editing…because that’s going to be the editing timebase, 29.97. I can transfer it over again and keep it at 59.98 or 59.97, 59.98…yeah, but anyway…

I also have 720/24pN that is at 23.98 that I’m trying to pull to 29.97 using pulldown, which I have done before on a different project, and also a different machine, I forgot to mention that. That is what I’m having trouble with. All the footage that was shot in standard 24p over 60 is fine, no problems, it’s the native footage that won’t transfer…

I just want to make this known, It could just be doing something REALLY stupid that I’m overlooking, it’s happened before. ANY help would be welcome.
