60i footage into 24p sequence

Hi,
I have 60i footage that I want to import into a 24p sequence. The scene was filmed in 60i specifically because I want to slow it down 50% in my premiere sequence and the 24p does not allow for good slow motion.
My concerns are how to do it, and how to (if necessary) de-interlace the 60i?
Thanks!

  • 60i footage to 24p

    Please understand that i am a rookie.
    I have read other posts but i am a little confused. I am recording some footage in 24p, but it really records it in 60i. i=interlaced so the picture is not really progressive right? I am using a Canon HF S10.
    So I log and transfer and it brings it in to FCP at ( 29.97/Apple Pro Res 422/Square Pix ) in its own clip. I did not see a way to change that.
    I import to the new sequence, say yes to change settings. Changes to ( 1920x1080/HDTV 1080i (16x9)/Odd Field Dominace/29.97 Edit TimeBase/Apple ProRes 422).
    I export with current settings. Open with quicktime and there is interlaced video. I export with Apple Pro Res 422 (HQ) 1920x1080 24p, there are interlaced lines and in some areas looks worse.
    My final plan is to record to Blu-Ray in 24p, and also export the best possible dvd.
    What tricks do i need to do so that I get the 60i footage to 24p into Final Cut Pro for editing, and make sure i export that way?
    Also i know that Apple Pro Res is awsome to work with, but it requires alot of space. What is the next down version that i could use that will still produce good quality DVDs.
    Thank you in advance....

  • Is it Possible to Convert 60i Footage to 24p?

    I was wondering if it's possible to convert footage shot in 60i to 24p and if it'll look good.
    Like, if I took 60i footage and put it out at 24 FPS in progressive scan through compressor, would it take out the correct frames? Or would it look all weird?
    Just curious if it looks good and if there's a good way to do it.

    Probably your best bet would be http://www.nattress.com and his standards converter. Moves 60i to 24.
    Good luck,

  • Best way to merge 4:3 60i footage with 24p 16:9 on timeline?

    I've got footage shot off a Canon XL2 16:9 24pa and footage off a Sony Handycam shot in 4:3 60i. I'd like to get the Sony footage to sit on my timeline but take up the width of the widescreen instead of being a blocky square... Is there anyway to accomplish this?
    Thanks,
    glenn

    Your sort of going about it backwards. Assuming you dont want to finish anamorphic, You should work with a 4:3 timeline and cut your 16:9 footage into that timeline leaving it letterboxed. Then to match the look you should letterbox the 4:3 footage, assuming it was shot to compensate for that cropping. You could always reposition that footage vertically if that helps.

  • Editing 60i footage at 24p (slowing it down so it plays at 80% speed

    Hello,
    So i need to cut a montage from 60i video that is going to go into a 24p timeline... I'd love to treat the footage as if it was shot at 24p (seperate the fields and slow it down 80%) so i could just cut it in and be done with it... any idea how to do this?

    Well, the easiest way I can think of is to load the clip into Cinema Tools and resolve it to 23.98 fps. That just changes the frame rate. Separating the fields, BTW, won't do anything for you.

  • Is there another way (other than in Cinema Tools) to conform 60i footage to 24p?

    I just upgraded to Lion and it killed Cinema Tools and I don't want to upgrade to FCPx yet. Please help! I need to make some slo-mo clips ASAP.

    This is what digital signatures are all about. Not all signatures do this, but a properly set up one will use a time server maintained by a trusted party, and that time will be stored as an irrevocable proof.
    If you didn't sign it, or the signature used the computer's clock - no.

  • Can Sony's HVR-M10U deck's playback of HDV 1080i 60i footage be captured?

    Does anyone know definitively if Sony's HVR-M10U playback of HDV 1080i 60i footage can be captured in FCP?

    After a lot of research & trail/error I have successfully captured 1080i 60i footage into FCP 5 using Sony's HVR-M10U deck.

  • Mix 60i(29.97)avchd footage into Dslr 23.976 timeline

    I'm using CS6. My project presets are for a DSLR at 23.976 (canon t3i). I also have a canon hf-M41. It does NOT record at 24p native, rather it records at 60i and then is transformed to 29.97 to supposedly look like 24p. Everything is exported as 29.97 from the M41 regardless of the in camera settings. When I put the M41 footage into my timeline it runs like it is in slow motion (even upon rendering). My question is how do I keep my project settings at 23.976 DSLR (because I have 2 t3i's for my main cameras) and make my M-41 footage run smoothly and be able to combine the two? From my own testing it looks like the best match upon bringing it into the DSLR timeline is setting the M41 to record at the  29.97 in camera. (probably because Premiere already naturally sees it as 29.97). I have been playing with the Adobe Media Encoder but my results have produced the same results as when I change the footage within Premiere. I am totallyM new at this and have probably opened up the Media Encoder only 4 times!(completely lost) I'm lost trying to figure out how to mix these two formats in Premiere. The T3i footage is .MOV and the M41 is .MTS (avchd). Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated. I want to be able to use all three cameras for mulitcam editing but as I have told you they run "funky" together haha Thanks a lot!!- Mark

    You can upconvert using Compressor. It would be BEST to have the tapes dubbed and upconverted with the use of a Terranex...or captured with a Kona 3 that can do the upconvert on the fly and still look good. But sans (without) a capture card, the best way is with Compressor. Danny_Boy and I had to mix MANY formats for a History Channel doc we did. Now we used the Terranex, but in my testing on what to go with, I found that Compressor did a decent job...it just took a LONG TIME.
    Drop the clip you want to convert into Compressor. Go to the ADVANCED FORMAT CONVERSION menu option, and choose DVCPRO HD 720p24. Then click on the FRAME CONTROLS and choose CUSTOM under the FRAME CONTROL menu. Now, choose all the BEST settings for all the other menus.
    NOw...shoot. You have to crop this image in order to make the 4:3 fit into a 16:9 frame...and I lost my tutorial on what numbers to put in there.
    I have Droplets for Compressor 2 (FCS1) that do this for you...iffin you are interested.

  • Ingesting AVCHD Footage into FCE (shot 720/24p)

    Hi, I've been reading up a lot on various problems with ingesting AVCHD footage into FC Express. I'm using a Panasonic HM150 camera. I've transfered the footage from a SD Card reader to my Iomega 500GB external drive. We shot our footage at 720/24p. I tried to use easy setup for this, but there is no format for this in FCE 4.0.1. The best that I can do seems to be AVCHD 1080i. Can anyone assist me with how I can get FCE to ingest AVCHD footage shot at 720/24p and the exact settings I need to use to ensure correct ingestion? Upon trying to log and transfer it, I keep getting the red exclamation mark. Would this be because the settings are incorrect? I'm surprised that FCE doesn't have this particular setting since many people do shoot in the 720 mode.
    Many thanks,
    J.D.

    Although FCE isn't designed to work with 24p footage, I've heard of a lot of people recently being able to ingest it anyway into FCE, but then getting stuck when it's time to put it into a sequence.
    Click the gear button in the upper right of the Log and Transfer window, and navigate to the Preferences menu. Make sure Audio is set to *Plain Stereo* and click the button to *Clear the Cache.* Now try ingesting with your Easy Setup set to AIC 720p30. If it works, you can then use the free [MPEG Streamclip|http://www.squared5.com> to convert the capture scratch files to 29.97fps and edit them in FCE.
    If it doesn't work, you may be able to use [Voltaic HD|http://www.shedworx.com/voltaichd] to convert from AVCHD to the Apple Intermediate Codec at 29.97fps for editing.

  • 24p footage in 30fps sequence is blurrier

    Hello,
    I'm about to load 20 hours of feature film footage shot on a dvx100b at 24p (regular, not adv.). Before importing a few shots of test footage I chose "DV-NTSC 24p" as Easy Set-up.
    Every clip brought into the timeline requires rendering, and when I looked at the clips I saw that despite my setting, they imported at 29.97.
    I'm willing to edit at 29.97 instead of sticking to 24p but here's the problem: I reset my Easy Setting as straight "DV-NTSC" and made a new sequence, and brought in the same clip as I'd loaded in the 24p sequence. A frame in the 29.97 sequence clip is notably less crisp than the identical frame in the 24p sequence clip.
    Intuitively it makes sense to edit in 24p and just pull down (push up?) to 30 when it's DVD-burnin' time. Otherwise, I'd be dealing with 20% of my frames duplicated in the edit and who needs that?
    Can I just bring in the footage at 24p and edit that way, or will the blur just come back? Thanks very much in advance for any help breaking through this bottleneck.
    Best,

    Sean -- that's cool.
    Do keep this in mind when shooting with the DVX though...
    24p setting and 24pA setting:
    24p Setting is meant as a FILM LOOK setting. 24p setting will shoot from the CCDs 24 times a second but when it goes to tape it gets a pulldown cadence of 3.2 standard pulldown cadence - which means 2 frames are combined and added as 'interlaced' frames bringing the total frame count from 24 to 30 frames per second.
    This is for two reasons... 1) miniDV tape won't take anything other than 30 frames per second, and 2) the 3.2 cadence is the standard cadence used by TV folk to convert film to 30fps and is least offensive to the eye.
    Again, 24p setting on the dvx is to be used ONLY as a film look setting to be shown on standard 30fps display medium.
    NOW --
    24pA is when you want to shoot something and KEEP it in 24fps... either for film transfer or for 'perfect' film look on web or DVD (though as Pat says, the DVD player might be adding pulldown anyway --- which although I have the HIGHEST respect for Patrick... I've never heard myself before.)
    What happens here is again, lens to CCD all happens at 24 times a second... BUT when going to tape a different cadence is added ... one that is easier for FCP to remove. This is the 2.3.3.2 cadence. Same process as before... frames are combined into 'interlaced' frames (upper half frame A and lower half frame B) and added to the 24 fps to make 30fps.
    Now -- when capturing 24pA material, FCP will remove these 'interlaced' frames and return you to 24 progressive frames a second. PERFECT for film transfer.
    Hope this clears things up.

  • Accidently recorded 60i footage - how do I bring it into FCP? Help!

    I have just found that I have filmed some of my work in 60i (using a Sony Z1) and some in 50i. I actually wanted it all in 50i (PAL) as I'm in the UK and naturally wanted the footage to be consistent.
    The problem I have found now is, is that I can't bring in the 60i footage onto FCP. I'm connected up via Firewire, and am using a G5. I've tried changing the capture settings to NTSC, but no joy. All I actually get is audio, as the video preview is disabled. Naturally it plays fine on the Z1. I've also tried it on DSR-45, in which it also plays back fine on the monitor, but I can't get anything into FCP.
    Do I need an NTSC firewire cable? Or do I need to get the footage transferred to PAL (50i)?
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Make sure that your Z1U menu is set to play back NTSC 60i video or if you are using a player other than the Z1U make sure it is set to 60i NTSC output.
    Create a new project in FCP with NTSC 60i settings and import the footage. Then export the new footage to Compressor and transcode to 50i.
    BTW there is no such thing as an NTSC Firewire cable. The cables don't care what standard you use
    Good luck.

  • Using 24p footage and 60i footage together?

    Hello,
    I am working on a project that will combine 24p footage and 60i footage. What would be the best way to go about combining these two. It's for a short that is shot similar to Cloverfield. I want to use 60i footage for the hand held footage shoot by the actors who are capturing their experience. I'd prefer to have that footage shot on 24p as well and degrade the quality in post, but I don't want to run the risk of them dropping my DVX100a and destroying it. I don't have any experience with 60i, or combining two kinds of footage, so advice is much appreciated!
    Thanks!

    > that they are not true 30p but really 60i rendered to 30p
    Well, I certainly can't speak for all of these cameras, but I have played around with some of this "30p over 60i" footage -- but most of this was from HDV cameras, not AVCHD. Avoid if you can. Basically, the luma is progressive and the chroma is interlaced.
    I have a function (it's actually part of the dv2film and hd2sd functions) that will deinterlace only the chroma, so can recover greatly true progressive output... but this is an unmitigated a pain in the *** to deal with all the time, and you certainly lose at least a little chroma resolution. Avoid :)

  • Interpret 60i footage as 23.976p when Exporting

    I'm using the Canon 41 camcorder as my "B" camera. My project settings are set for DSLR 23.976 which is what most of my footage is. The DSLR footage is shot in native 23.976 progressive and I'm exporting the final project as 23.976 progressive. My question is when I use the footage from my "B" that is interlaced, how will Premiere export it? I would guess that Premiere would convert the 60i footage to 23.976 when it exports the final footage? Is this correct? I don't understand how my final copy could switch back and forth. I'm confused...
    This from the specs list from canon
    Frame Rate
    60i, 24p Progressive (records at 60i), 30p Progressive (records at 60i)
    You can change the camcorder's frame capture rate to 24p (recorded at 60i), which provides the appearance of the same frame rate as movie film.
    Setup selection screen shot-
    Export settings screen shot-

    So 'conforms', effectively means that it will turn my interlaced footage into progressive? I sure don't want those blasted interlace lines to show up when a quick pan is performed. Thank you for your reply Jim. Does anyone see a problem with what I am trying to do? From what Jim states all is good
