Do you have Final Cut Pro? How about converting your footage using cinema tools? I may be wrong but I assume you could import your 23.97 Quicktime and convert it pretty easily?

I use twixtor alot in my music videos and I always shoot at 60fps so I can get smooth slow mo. I use Cinema tools to convert my 60 fdp source to 23.97 and then adjust the speed of the clip in FCP to usually about 250% to get the normal frame rate.If I want the shot to be slo-mo I keep it at 100%

I believe Twixtor is best applied during your editing process where you have full control over your image.Also When I decide to apply Twixtor. I move a copy of the clip to a separate sequence as it may screw with the timeline.

UpDATE:

So i figured out my issue was in the translation from a FCP to After effects.
Got that resolved.. Precomped my layers, applied effects and my Final comp looks good!

Guess I just need to fiddle with it more.

September 5, 2012 at 7:22 am in reply to: rendering issue

You were right Greg. I had a similiar problem and in my case all I had to do was to go to the save tab in render settings. I found the path I wanted to save my file to and it seems as if the problem was that C4D would automatically populate the project name as the destination folder. See example :

/Volumes/G-DRIVE/Jae Mac “She Wanna” Video/After Effects/C4D/project file

all i had to do was erase that “project file” and it rendered fine!

File…../Volumes/G-DRIVE/Jae Mac “She Wanna” Video/After Effects/C4D

Obviously it has to render to a folder not a file… duh..

Hope that helps anyone
