You would think this would be a searchable topic.
The Avid people handed me a PhotoJPEG QuickTime that they want put on a Movie DVD. It's 960 x 540 at 24.000. It's a 2.35 CinemaScope show inside the frame with letterbox bars. It's also five minutes long, so I have to worry about sound sync. I got the frame configuration to come out right with two passes through QuickTime Pro, but the framerate conversion is a stumper. I'm sure there is also a way to do the frame size conversion in one go on a Final Cut timeline, too, but that's not as critical as the rate conversion. The object is to end up with a heavily letterboxed NTSC DVD presentation running with in-sync sound and no jump frames. Remember, Not An Editor. FCP 5.0.4 Dual 2G OS-X 10.4.10 QT 7.0.2 2G Memory Koz
Koz, have you tried using Cinema Tools?
that can simply alter the clips play-back speed. it works betwen 24 and 24 fps, i know remember i am from PAL land, so dont know if it works from 24 to 23.976 open CT, it will ask you to open a database, but just cancel that stage. open the clip (apple O) and then click CONFORM (lower right in CT v3) pretty sure this work. and no nasty re-compression or frame-juggling. should be an ever-so-slight slow-down & pitch-down of the sound. hope that works, nick
