I never set hard drives to go to sleep/idle so it’s always running whenever I’m using the system, and this problem happens as soon as I get out of the title section (about 80%of the time) or if I just pass by a title section so it doesn’t look like it’s an issue with hard drive.
I’ve always used DV codec for offline editing and this is my second time using ProRes Proxy, but on my old Mac Pro 1,1 it worked well… Just wondering if it’s Mac Pro 4,1 issue? I’m on Snow Leopard.

Yeah, like I said the assistant before me captured everything at 59.94. I would’ve definitely captured it 23.98 in the first place but now I sort of have to deal with 59.94 digital media.
Anyway, I’m going to try 29.97 down convert again and see if it works.

I figured, if 23.98 tape can be captured at 59.94, then I’m just reversing the process to make it 23.98, aren’t I? Does it not work as easy as it sounds?

Say if we just stick to 59.94, can we still make 24P master in the online?

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply.
Yes I understand the frame rate does not conform, but the original footage was shot 23.98 and digitized in 59.94. I ran a couple of tests converting 59.94 to 23.98 to make sure, and those converted clips perfectly matched 59.94 clips.
When we play 59.94 clips on FCP timeline, it repeats every 2-3 frames which is not noticeable unless played frame by frame, but successfully downconverted 23.98 clips did not repeat any frames and actually played back progressive clips perfectly.
I also tested converting to 29.97 before even starting this, but for some reason it did not conform 59.94 clips, and again, was jittery.
Yes, I think renting the deck again and re-digitizing everything will be better (I would’ve downconverted on the fly if we can go back) but we’re kind of in the middle of cutting, so converting current clips and re-linking would be better, if at all possible.
Like I mentioned, most of clips are fine, but only some clips are giving me problems.
If this is totally a wrong approach, why do most clips playback perfectly and conform 59.94?
Also if this means I have to re-do all to 29.97, then there goes my weekend again. 🙁
Anyway, further insight would be appreciated.
