Thanks. So you’re suggesting redigitizing at 24p from original tapes? how would that effect a sound mix that’s done at 29.97? Unfortunately we can’t do a new sound mix. I’m also wondering if I just re-do the titles and keep it as-is. Thanks for the help. K

Hi guys,
Thanks for the responses. It was digitized at 29.97 by an editor. I’d have to check with him on what he originally did. I have all of the original tapes. I would have to check with him. It was awhile ago, it played a couple of festivals with a great film called “Formosa.”

Can anybody recommend some houses that do this? Or do most transfer places do it….? haven’t had a need for it up until now. Thanks, K

Hi, thanks. Do you mean the “AE compatible version?” or the “Full version for AE”? And what is the difference between these and the FX Plugin version? And if, at some point, we were going to shoot in 10 bit and wanted to use Twixtor shouldn’t we go with the FX Plugin – or does that not work with AE? Sorry…trying to figure this out on the twixtor web site. Thanks for the help.

Thanks again for all your help. We are actually shooting in 8 bit, as the EX1 only goes 8 bit to the SS memory. There is a version which works on both FCP and AE, correct? I am just looking on the site and trying to determine what to get for our editor, who runs both AE and FCP.

Also, there was some discussion as to whether it would benefit Twixtor to overcrank the footage and shoot 720 24p 60 fps and use this as our “native” or “default” footage, if that makes sense. The whole point is elaborating on these “found moments” in this room as we move through it, which obviously this technique is great for…

Thanks for the input,
Kevin

Thank you for all the prompt and detailed responses, Peter and Pierre. I appreciate it. So, from what I can gather – I should use the AE plug-in as it’s more seamless? The FCP plug-in only re-maps the motion, as I understand it and not the frame rates? And I will definitely do a test. And yes, we will be doing a film out but shooting on HD. Thanks again for the help.

Yes, there is a 24p option on the camera – it is HD, but isn’t twixtor the best way to manipulate the motion (speeding up slowing down quite a bit) rather than time re-mapping in FCP or After Effects? Most video/HD cams now have 24p options. I had read where you want to give twixtor as many fields/frames as possible to work with…?
