Syncing up 30fps & 60fps on a timeline?

I've got to sync up two video formats.

One camera is shooting 30fps, the other 60fps.

This is a scientific experiment. They are both filming the same event.

The 30fps camera is actually 'Debut Video Capture' software - recording data appearing on three screens from three different apps. It is a big huge (5,000x1080).mov file that I will break into three separate (1920x1080) .mov files afterwards - to manipulate and place in an HD frame with the fourth HD video stream coming from the other camera:

The other camera is a Sony FS700 filming an actual physical event at 60fps.

The 30fps is not as critical as it is mosty data. I don't want to mess with the 60fps Sony footage.


Any suggestions?


All ears,

Assuming your 30 fps is 30p, take it to Compressor and in Inspector > Encoder > Video > Settings > Motion > Frame Rate, set to 60. Skip Frame Controls. Compressor will double every frame and output a 60p .mov file that will sync and intercut with your 60p.
