Daniel,

Did you ever get an answer to this? I was wondering the same exact thing?

Thanks,

That was my thought. And with fcp or mpeg stream clip I see the cadence issue, but with compressor I get something that looks like a bad twixtor effect.

HERE ARE TWO SAMPLE IMAGES :

Thanks, I have been biting the bullet and doing it at BEST and running the footage off of 4 machines. Not terrible times, but the quality is really still not great. I am getting pretty bad “ghost” on certain frames. Is this unavoidable. I am almost thinking the ghosting is worse than just having lost frames?

Comverting all the footage in compressor at BEST. Still doesn’t look great, acts almost as if it has a poor twixtor effect on it. Any thoughts?

Thanks alot,

Of course time often equals quality. In your opinion is BEST light years smoother than BETTER, which I noticed Ken Stone recommends on his site?

Also, when you say :

“Before you begin editing. You might have to transcode it first, then do the frame rate conversion. ”

Are you recommending I transcode from h.264 to ProRess in a separate pass from doing the frame rate conversion. I was planning on doing them both at the same time in compressor?

Thanks,

Isaac

Thanks,

I have heard it is cleaner going from 24 to 30, but since this is backed by a studio there is a chance of film out or DCP projection, in which case it is probably a safer bet to finish in 23.98 – correct?

Thanks again.
