I am in the middle of the south Pacific on a slow satellite connection I cannot view video or download anything due to the slow speed. If I were to order a book I would get it in about 1 month or more as I can only receive mail in certain ports.

The slide show goes onto a DVD. If I use Power point can I Export an HD video File? and am I not going to run into the same resolution problem.

What should I do to the stills to prep them for FCP?

Does any one have a proven work flow or some detailed instructions on how to handle this?

We had the cameras set to 60fps for some slomo shots and they did not get switched back to 30 or 24. This has given most of the video a news video quality to it. That is the reason I am try to change the look to a more 24fps style.

Clearly next shoot I have to plan my frame rates a bit better. I suppose if I did want to the 24fps look I should have shot my slow mo at 50 fps.

How would you go about converting it to 30fps?

Hey thanks changing to 24 then speeding it up 250% seems to have worked.I tried a portion of the edit using this technique and it looks better than 60fps video. I am just finishing up my final CC pass and I will try the whole video.

Thanks for the help

I cannot find the “Render Motion Effects: Linear” tab I have searched FCP Help Googled it can you point it out to me.

OK so the issue is when 60fps goes to 24 fps it is of course in slow motion. I need it to have a 24fps look. In Philip Blooms fix he says to open it in Cinema tools change it to 23.98 then open the inspector. Did he mean after converting to 23.98 then open in Compressor and make changes there.

Of course Phil’s workflow did not work because I am using 60p not 30p.

To be honest I have been trying to solve this for so long that I am lost in all of the different opinions and my deadline is approaching.

Is their any way you can give me a step by step detailed workflow?

Thanks I will give that a try. It looks like the G Film filter I have now can do it but it needs interlaced footage and I shot in progressive. I found an old cow forum that explains how to switch Progressive to interlaced.

If you have any suggestions on how to interlace progressive that would be great

Hi Stephen

I am finally on my way to hawaii on the cruise ship and getting ready to do the map animation. I have an experienced photo shop artist on the ship and she is going to try to create the Vector map for me. Can this be done in Photo Shop or only Illustrator? any special instructions I should give her on how to do it? Also you said I would have to change some settings in motion for this. Can you walk me through this?

I would like to slightly round the map and tilt down and zoom on it to follow a red line as it moves across the ocean to Hawaii and then lands on a Red dot marking Hilo Hawaii. Then the next piece will animate a red line from Hilo to Nawiliwili.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

On my other ships they had a map that had just ports and the continents were all one colour.
So it was a graphically designed map designed to be easily read by the average joe.

It does not have to be realistic but I am open to anything at this point!

When you say Nest clip with shift field. What exactly do you mean? Is it add the shift fields to the master clip? As well I am cutting in an HDV time line and then dragging it into an SD time line so it adds the shift fields filter by itself.
Please expand on this solution.

Thanks

Man I can feel your pain. Redoing everything over and over again only to find your problem still not solved. Alas this is why I am getting out of the editing biz. To many issues to many unsolvable problems to much BS.
