thanks–I’ll check out the panasonic download for sure.
yes–using AE just for the frame rate conversion on this particular project.
I took the DVCAM tapes to a guy who has the Kona 3 card. He basically dig’d the ftg into FCP going SDI out of the DVCAM deck and through the Kona card. I had him set it to pillarbox and the upconvert looked really really good.
by the way, I’ll only take my selects into AE for the conversion after my picture is locked.
so renders won’t be terribly long.
