Q: Editing with different timebases, frame rates
Shooting with 2 different cameras, I have different timebases in one project.
1. My Canon Vixia HDV footage, so it's a 29.97 timebase. ( interlaced)
2. Footage from my HVX200 captured from the Fire-store ( Non PN mode) so, it's 59.94 editing timebase.
AND: I recently purchased P2 card which I want to begin to use wiill be at 23.98, but maybe I should hold off on using?
I am mixing and matching all of the different footage into the multiple timelines I am using for this project. 80% of footage is from the Fire-store captured with the HVX200.
I would suppose putting different clips from the above mentioned scenarios onto one timeline would not give me "best performance" especially DVD playback?
I have video from the Canon 29.97 interlaced frames and the HVX200 "24 frames over 60", with 59.94 timebase.
Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.3), editing with FCS 2.
Can Cinema Tools take out the dropdown from the 59.94 footage, to either the desirable 24 fps, or to match the Canon Vixia 29.97 footage?
OR rather, should I just convert the 29.97 fps from the Canon VIXIA to match the Fire-store footage?
