convert 24 fps seq to 29.97

I have a 24 fps sequence. when I made quicktimes they were 24fps, but my sound people need 29.97 quicktimes.

I tried copy and pasting the 24 frame sequence into a 29.97 sequence, but there were gaps in the picture.

any ideas how to fix this?

thanks

FCP will drop and duplicate frames to convert a 24fps to 29.97fps sequence.

Are you running at 24fps or 23.98fps BTW?

To convert, FCP will add 3:2 pulldown to a 23.98fps sequence over firewire to playout to a DV deck.

If that's not suitable, check out my Standards Conversion plugin at www.nattress.com which will add 3:2 pulldown as a render to any 24p or 23.98fps movie.

graeme,

thanks for your response.

I am running 24fps not 23.98fps.

will the 24fps output to a dv deck over firewire convert to 29.97fps?

If you convert 24.00fps to 29.97fps, there will be a speed change due to the video rate for 24p of 23.98fps and the film rate for 24p which is 24.00fps, so I don't know how your music people are going to cope with that mismatch.

Anyway, if you want to do the conversion from 24.00fps to 29.97fps, my Standards Conversion will do that for you, just be aware of the very slight speed change in the video.

You can export your 24P sequence and bring it into Cinema Tools. Cinema Tools has a conform feature that can change it to 23.98. Bring the clip back into FCP and play it out to tape via firewire adding the 3:2 on the way out.

Ciao.

Yes, that'll work too, but again, we have the speed change....
