Q: Can't Conform 24 to 29.97fps!

Hi.

 

I'm trying to conform a clip using cinema tools. The video format is HDV 720p24 and I want to conform to 29.97fps but cinema tools

don't allow me to do it ( the button conform is not active.) What's wrong?

 

thx

    Cinema Tools cannot conform GOP formats like HDV. Because there aren't any real frames.  You need to convert the footage to ProRes first, then conform. 

     

    You do know that if you conform from 24 to 29.97, that will speed up the footage, right?  This isn't a frame rate conversion, where the footage will play back at the same speed (1 second is 1 second, but at a different rate), but rather conform the footage...keeping the same frames but changing the rate.  So 24 frames that was 1 second, is now 24 frames, but LESS than a second...as your second will now be 30 frames long.  It will play faster.

    Thanks a lot for your explanation Shane !!

     

    Does exist some app what I can use to convert 24fps to 29.97fps without change speed of the clip?

     

    thank you again!
