Been a long time, hope you get better advice. (Havne’t done this since I threw away Infini-D, about 8 years ago!)
I think what we used to do was pretty simple: bring the 60fps into AE, interpret the footage as 30fps, and set the field order to your output needs.I think you experiment on a short clip that has some horizontal movement of high contrast objects. Be sure to read up on the section in the manual on how to view individual fields in the work area. but you also want to render some tests and view them carefully on your output device.

That’s only the second time in forty years in the biz that I’ve heard the term “sidechain.” The consensus on the Apple forum seemed to be, no, STP is not set up that way, maybe Logic is, but we also allowed that ducking music under voice is best done manually anyway. Ducking other audio tracks for other purposes was not covered in the discussion that I recall.

Export as a series of still images, a still image sequence.
This is only practical for a few seconds of video.bogeisan

Generally, no.
There is no file completion data so there is no reliable directory data. It’s like saying you built the bridge but you don’t know how long the bridge is, what it’s made out of, or if it crosses another road or a river. In fact, you don’t even know what country the bridge is in. Might not even really be there. or the middle sections are located in another parallel universe.
There may be file recovery services that can do this for you but it will be cheaper to restage the event and record it to tape like every competent producer would do anyway. Please don’t misinterpret that last statement, it’s not personal. It’s for the benefit of anyone who searches the forms in the future.There are some really good reasons we’ve been videotape for 50 years.

[Chuck Reti] “If just getting the material on a disk is the important factor, standalone consumer hardware DVD burners offer 2,4 and 6 hour DVD durations. Downside of course is degraded picture quality at these “LP” and “EP” settings.”
Second this workflow. Connect video and audio into the DVD recorder, select speed, hit record, play your tape. It’s realtime, it works, it’s cool, and relatively cheap. the bitrate tends to be very low because you do not have any audio encoding options. So, while the image is usually better than you think it can be in the 4 hour mode, you do NOT want to pump this out to a huge screen.
The OP’s requirement for quality seems to ignore the reality of DVD and MPEG2.

q[Steve Woronko] “I have a client who has a live streaming music show. He captures it to a hard drive as FLV.”
Silly decision probably based on a gross misperception of storage economics. Since the product must be edited, recording to a format that must be transcoded is wasted effort. Put a simple DV cmaera in the loop and record DV to the drive. Or, if this guy absolutely INSISTS on using .flv, record to tape in the camera.

Can’t help you immediately but try this for some tips, it’s pre-3D:

If you can hear the file in the comp, you can use it as a parameter behavior. However, I can’t tell from your post if yo have done this before. If not, the procedure is more complicated than you might think. Go through the manual very carefully, step by step.
sorry, I’m not at my motion machine or I’d try to help you directly.

[malcolm DeSoto] “I’m just not sure what exactly I’m supposed to be doing with the fabric and elastic. “
I thought this was clear.
> ‘d place a piece of fabric in the frame with a slit in it. This gives you a consistent target and, if you use something elastic like neoprene, you can get some physical resistance that will add to the illusion. < Stretch the neoprene inside the frame of the TV set. You're going replace the screen with an effect which presumes total grokking of tracking and comfort with creating the illusion of reality for your tracked and matted-in TV image. don't forget you'll need that ol' passage-beween-parellel-universes electrical discharge effect along the edge of the card. bogiesan This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

It’s a tough call.
One thing you need to consider is the relative size and perspective of the big prop and the standard card. That alone could kill your illusion. Practical effects aren’t difficult to stage. we did this stuff for decades before we had tools like AE. You may be thinking too high tech, try to look at it as if you did not have After Effects.Since you already have a prop monitor (hey, if you want it to be hip, you need a flat screen!) I’d place a piece of fabric in the frame with a slit in it. This gives you a consistent target and, if you use something elastic like neoprene, you can get some physical resistance that will add to the illusion.
We see similar posts about walking through walls so you might search for those.
