Raw footage Frame RatePosted by rogarguello
Hello,
So having an issue which i believe to be frame rate problem. I am editing a project I shot on a 5d Mark II. Full res, 24fps. I imported a couple of clips from a previous project which i shot on a different 5d which at the time could only do 30fps. I convert all my files to Prores before editing. So I did for these new clips. when I put them on the timeline and play it, the video is gittery. Feels like its missing some frames. During conversion the frame rate was kept to original, 30fps, so i figured i'd reconvert to 24fps but I'm still having the same issue. The only difference is the FPS between the old and the new clips. Any thoughts on what to do? Thanks for your help, Roger
It's not a great move. I'm on a project where they had some stuff shot on 30fps (Flip cams). I slowed the footage down to 25fps. Not too noticeable.

You have two frame rates. FCP doesn't do a good real time frame rate conversion so you're left with converting to a single frame rate.
Importing/Converting the the 5D footage at it's native frame rate is the first thing. Editing in one of those frame rates is your next choice. If sync is an issue I would edit at 30 (29.97 right or was it from before when they only shot integral rates?) That means you have to add pulldown to your 24fps stuff. You do this in a number of ways. Send it to some place that has a converter or do it yourself using something like JESDeinterlace. There are other solutions. Once the 24 stuff is converted to 29.97 you edit everything in a 29.97 ProRes sequence. Hooray for you. Another option if the 30 or the 24 stuff is not very rate dependant is to conform it to play at the other speed. This will result in a significant speed up/slow down but depending on the footage that may work for you. You can do that in the "Conform Clip" function of Cinema Tools which came with FCP Studio 1 thru 3. EDIT: Do a bit of reading on "Pulldown" so you have an idea on whats happening to the 24 frames to get it to 30. ak Sleeplings, AWAKE!
There is no Modify menu in Cinema Tools 4.
