Oops, you’re right, I’ve made some tests and there are some strange things happening. In my case it’s quite subtle, in fact I’ve never noticed it, but I suppose it depends on the characteristics of your footage.

Christopher,

I’ve been looking at the last thing I made using this method and no frames are repeated, so yes, you should probably use the “Best” option (“Max” in my Spanish version of Compressor) in the “Rate Conversion” pop-up menu.

Give it a try…

Try this:

1) Cut your original footage as 23.98.
2) Export video without audio as a self-contained QuickTime movie using “Current Settings”.
3) Conform to 25fps in Cinema Tools.
4) Open in Compressor and convert to a clip maintaining the original settings (in 25fps), but with “Duration” set to the exact duration of the original clip in 23.98.
5) Import clip to a 25fps sequence in FCP.
6) Copy and paste the sound from your 23.98 to your 25fps sequence. Or export and re-import it if you have created a new project.

Be aware to create PAL projects the “right way” if you’re switching from NTSC: Close all projects, shut down FCP, re-open it, set your PAL-settings and create a new sequence.

This procedure has worked for me on movies up to 20 minutes. Good luck!

A cheaper solution is the Fat-Cat which goes on top of the AT4053b’s windscreen (max. 55x70mm):

If you don’t want it to take up too much space in your bag, you could go with one of these:

…and if that’s not enough, you can put on a furry.

Maybe you saved the file as 16bit CMYK or 32bit RGB?

Thanks, Gary.

I’ve asked for an estimate on the Telecast POV & HD/POV modules from the Spanish distributor, but I’ll need a “Plan B” just in case my client can’t afford it…

Thank you, Gary.
Looks interesting, but expensive… I’m going to check the prices with the Spanish distributor, Clearcom.

Meanwhile, do any of you have any experience with video over CAT5?
