Convert 25fps to 24fps
I am new to the video world. I have a 25fps 1920x1080 ProRes 422 clip (made from a .mts file via ClipWrap) that needs to become 24fps. I assume that Compressor is the tool for this, but Compressor's interface is so unintuitive and fragmented that I was unclear on how to do this, and Compressor Help isn't very, um, helpful. So I just whacked away at it, and here's what I tried:
- Open the file in Compressor
- Choose the settings tab and click "+" to create a new setting.
- In Encoder tab of the Inspector, choose ProRes 422 and frame rate 24.
- In Geometry tab of Inspector, choose 1920x1080 (I had to make that change, as it was initially set at 720x480)
- I left alone everything else in Inspector, and clicked Save.
- Drag that new setting onto the original file shown in the upper left-hand window (whatever that window is called)
- Set a destination and drag that onto the original file in the upper left-hand window.
- Click "submit."
Is this right? QuickTime says that I did indeed get a 1920x1080 24fps ProRes 422 file, but I'm nervous as to whether I may have messed up something subtle that will give me grief later.
Can someone please either confirm that I did okay, or else give me step-by-step instructions on the right way to make this conversion?
Thank you.
