Q: I have two spots completed that are 24fps.  I need to convert them to 29fps.  How can I do that without have to completely redo all my work?

    Make a new project @29,97 and paste a copy of your 24fps project into it. Should play well at the new rate.

     

    Alternatively, you could export @ 24 and retime it in Compressor. (It will take a while.)

    Thank you.

    You resolved my issue.

    I had tried copying into a whole new project but it still kept coming out 23fps.

    Where I went wrong was creating a whole new project and copying it BEFORE I set "Custom" settings, then copying it into the new project.

    Thanks so much for helping me out.
