Hello all,
I have a completed video file that is: 25fps, 1080p h264 video codec with a .mov container.
I will be converting this down to standard def and into 24fps for authoring onto a dvd
So what is the best program to use for the first step of converting the frame rate?
Compressor or cinema tools? What is the step by step process?
And the audio pitch, where/ how do you change it to +4.17 ??
Final Cut Pro 7, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
I did the confrom in Compressor and it worked PERFECTLY- no audio delay/syncing issues, no pitch changes, video of the duration stayed the same, and there is no need to de-interlace.
Victory.
oh by the way.... it took 20 hours! But at least it worked- take that PAL!
Here was my settings
QUICKTIME: APP PRO RES 422
Settings for frame control:
Resize Filter- Best (statistical prediction)
Output Fields- Same as Source
Deinterlace- Best (motion compensated)
adaptive details box- checked
anti-alias & details levels dials- both at 0
Rate Conversion - Best (high quality motion comp)
Set duration to: 100% of source
Geometry
Frame size: 100% of Source
Get rid of the "database" window by pressing Cancel.
Then File>Open clip and follow my earlier instructions.
Let me interrupt the discussion here for a moment and ask a very simple question.
Why do you want to go from 25 to 24 fps to author a DVD?
But I don't do things like shoot PAL with second system audio, then try to convert the video to 24fps and have it still work with the audio. That's new to me.
the film was shot in Europe and now i'm in the U.S. trying to making this dvd. Is there an audio delay function in fcp or something to resync this?
Export the FINAL...export the whole film at 25fps...as it was edited. Take the exported file, and CONFORM that...audio included. Then apply a pitch shift to the audio (if you deem it necessary).
Hello, thanks
this will take probably hours but I will try it as well.
Also, I think I accidently posted a reply from another thread above this- sorry
convert 25fps to 24fps using Cinema tools or Compressor?
