Convert HD 1080 29.97 to HD 1080 25

Hi,
I have a AE project with a frame rate of 29.97  HD 1080 that I need to convert to HD 25 1080 to be able to put my Canon XF 305 footage in it.
It is a framework for a video wall with only animations, but no images or videos  in it yet.
What is the best way to do this.
When I change the the format in the individual comp preferences to HD 25 1080 everything still looks ok, but I want to be sure that  I take the necessary steps
to get the best result.
Thanks! David

You can put footage of a different frame rate in your comp, or you can change your comp's frame rate to match your footage. Either way should work, but I would recommend just changing the comp's frame rate.

  • Can I convert 1920-1080 to 1280- 720 (and 29,97 fps to 50) and if so, how?

    Can I convert 1920-1080 to 1280- 720 (and 29,97 fps to 50) and if so, how?
    Coz the 1920-1080 clips dont come out nice.
    Next time I'll shoot everything with 1 camera...

    If what you want to do is mix 1920X1080 clips with 1280X720 clips, I suggest that you create a sequence by dropping a 1280X720 clip on the "New Item" button to create the new sequence.
    To quote John Smith:
    Please NOTE that the PPro CS6 screen may look a bit different (I use CS5)

    You can then drop the 1920X1080 clips on that timeline. You can choose to do as Jim suggests and set "Scale to Frame Size" so that your video fits automatically, or you may choose to use the Scale parameter in the Motion effect to scale the video. The second method allows you to choose the best part of the frame to show if that turns out to be useful.
    Many people refer to 29.97 as 60i and it is possible that when you wrote 50 up above, you meant 50i which is more commonly called 25. So basically, your 29.97 footage would be slowed down from around 30 to 25. You will have to speed it up 20% with Time Remapping, or just the Speed/Duration parameters. It would be better to do that in a separate sequence and then use that sequence as a clip in your main timeline.
    If you actually meant 25, then you are going to have to slow down the 29.97 considerably. It might be better to interpret the 50 to 25 and add the 29.97 as I said above.
    If this footage is interlaced, I suggest that you deinterlace it if one is Upper Field First and the other is Lower Field First. Those two don't play well together.

  • Convert HD 1080 to 720 for ATV playback

    Hi there
    Hoping for some help. I have some mp4 1080 movies that load and play fine in iTunes. But they won't transfer to Apple TV as the max resolution os 720.
    Aside from QuickTime Pro and Perian (I just get a b/w blanked screen) or Handbrake (no sound), could anyone recommend some conversion software.
    As I say, to convert the mp4 from 1080 to 720 to enable the ATV transfer
    Thanks very much.
    Rogan

    handbrake should work (assuming you use the appletv preset). also make sure you are using the latest release (0.9.3).
    you could also try MPEGStreamClip.

  • Convert my 1080 video to 720 while in FCPX

    I inadvertently recorded 4 one hour lecture videos in 1080p instead of 720p. 1080 really slows down my 2008 iMac.
    Can I have FCPX change it to 720 before making the master file?
    The videos will be distributed via YouTube or on DVDs.

    What version are you using? You don't see this
    You don't see a button for Modify Settings?
    BTW, DVD is standard definition only so the 1080 size doesn't matter as it's going to get crushed to 480. If you upload to YouTube using FCP you will have the option to select at 720p output.

  • How to convert HD 1080 to SD 486 pixel aspect ratio "IN" Shake ?

    Hi,
    I convert 1920X1080p master to 720X486P in Shake because i like the downscaling algorythm.
    But when i put the exported file in Final Cut, it distorts the image to show correct aspect ratio, meaning Shake exported square pixels.
    How can i convert 1920X1080p (square pixels) to 720X486p (CCIR601) DV pixel ratio directly IN Shake rather than allowing FCP to "distort" it to show correct image aspect ratio ?
    Thanks

    Hi Patrick,
    I have found a simple workaround
    Here's what i did in Shake:
    I import the HD 1920X1080 square pixels clip.
    I select HDTV1080 as exporting format in the "Global" tab.
    I type 720X360 as export size in the Parameters 1 tab.
    Render out...
    In FCP, i import and reset the distort control to 0 in the clips motion tab.
    ET VOILÀ. Everything has the correct aspect ratio without compensation distortion in FCP

  • Converting 1440*1080 video to 720*480

    How do I convert/compress 1440 video to 720 6*9? I've tried bringing in the 1440 timeline into a timeline with 720 settings in the chance that it would work. Even tried exporting the 1440 timeline to 720 and it was stretched. Not very familiar with Compressor software, if that's what's needed. Any help? Thanks!
    FCP 6.0.5

    First of all, when using shorthand to refer to frame sizes, refer to the vertical resolution instead of the horizontal. When you say 720, I think 1280x720, not 720x480.
    1440x1080 is typically an HDV format. If you drop that into a DV Anamorphic sequence it should scale and distort the HD clip so that it's displayed properly in the SD 16:9 sequence unless you turned off the preference that does that.
    Still if it's not doing that, once it's in your DV sequence, just select the clip and go up to Modify/Conform to Sequence and FCP will take care of the rest. Render and go.

  • Converting HDV 1080/60i to ???1080 at 30p?

    I just cut a music video, HDV 1080i 29.97 fps. The first application for it is the web. I'd like to output it as 29.97 fps 'progressive' with the highest quality possible. I believe Compressor is the way to go ... but I'm not quite sure what the best settings should be, and what final codec should I export to.
    I'm actually going to use DV Kitchen to do all the web versions, once I have a master. But I have the sneaking suspicion (I've inquired on their forum, waiting for a response) that DV Kitchen doesn't yet handle ProRes ... thus my question about what codec I might export to.
    All ears,

  • 1080 60i 1080 25/24p Whats required?

    I currently have a large amount of footage that is 1080 60i that i need to convert into 1080 25 or 24p for the 'film look'. Does FCProHD allow you to do this? If so whats best and quickest way of doing it as i have a large amount of footage and time is a factor? If not can anyone point me in the right direction for alternative software? Many thanks:-)

    Take a look at Graeme Nattress's Standards Conversion Filters.
    Not sure if they will do exactly what you want, but if you have any questions, Graeme is usually pretty quick to reply to an e-mail.
    good luck.

  • 1080-60i so why is is 30fps after importing?

    The whole interlaced vs progressive thing is confusing. I have a HF100 1080-60i camcorder (also records 720-30p, though not sure it is true 30p or not). When I import into iMovie as a 1080i file, its shows 1080i-30 in the finder and the .MOV clips also show 30fps. Why not 60i? Is iMovie converting the 1080-60i to 1080-30i? I know iMovie can't do 1080p. Would it be better to create a 720-30p iMovie instead? Looking for the smoothest quality output, which is why I shoot in 60i rather than 30p. Thanks.

    No, don't record in 30p.
    In 30p each "field" (..as Matt has explained; a "field" is half the information that's contained in a single frame..) is more-or-less doubled, or recorded twice. When that reaches iMovie, iMovie plays the video at twice the normal speed! ..because it thinks that there should be two separate or different "fields" in every frame, not the same field twice.
    Record at 60i. That's the "traditional" way to record video. That's compatible with iMovie. 30p is NOT compatible with iMovie.
    Using a p ("progressive") frame rate is intended to simulate film, and to be a cheap way - at 24p - to shoot video and then have it transferred to film for showing in cinemas.
    Avoid anything with p on the end; always shoot at an i frame rate, because that's what iMovie understands.

  • Some questions about the Panasonic TM700 1080 60p mode.

    Hey folks,
    I've been using the Panasonic tm700 with FCP 7 and it's great for my purposes.
    I have been converting my 1080 60p footage with Voltaic and it generally works pretty great for slow motion stuff.
    My questions are :
    1. Since the camera doesn't offer a 30p mode, would I get a higher quality image from shooting in the 60p mode and converting it to 30p or shooting in 60i and deinterlacing the footage?
    2. Voltaic or Aunsoft? Which is the better converter for 1080 60p to Pro Res?
    thanks!
    alec
    Message was edited by: smotherparty

    1. You will get perfect 30p from 60p (just edit into a 30p timeline and FCP will drop other frame). Don't deinterlace 60i as a means to make 30p unless you have no other option.
    2. I have never used Voltaic or Aunsoft ... if I had to choose between the two I think I'd probably want to use Voltaic just because Aunsoft (as a brand name) has little exposure / credibility in the pro market. If I could choose for myself tho I'd probably be using neither of those two, I'd be trying Divergent Media's ClipWrap instead.

  • Whats the best/fastest format to convert avchd to, for edit purposes?

    Whats best format to convert 1920/1080 avchd to, for editing purposes?
    I tryed converting to HDV but didnt like the quality. I then tryed to convert the raw avchd files to mpeg2 @ 35 mbps. That is much cleaner but renders slow...about 1-1 ratio.
    Looking for a codec that is fast to convert to & clean.
    I have aPC, Win 7,  6 core, 32 gig ram,Raid 0,  fast cuda card ect...

    AVCHD has the same data rate as DV, so shuttling that fast will not be a disk problem, even from a single drive, let alone a RAID 0.  If it stutters, it's a CPU thing.
    Conversion to any other format is going to expand the data rate significantly, requiring your RAID to work harder.  Though the CPU will likely work less, so that could fix the stuttering.
    You can always add all the clips to a sequence, and then add that sequence to the Source Monitor for editing as if it were one long clip.
    Having said all that, if you still feel the need to convert then I recommend the free and lossless UT codec.  You can export out the combined clips right from PP, and the new media will not suffer any quality loss due to conversion.

  • Convert 1080 30p HDV to SD DVD - Help!!

    This may have been solved already on here but I couldn't find it so here I go. I have footage shot with the new Sony HVR-S270u HDV camera in 1080 30P mode. I'm trying to figure out what would be the best workflow. I need to be able to give the client SD DVDs now and then later be able to produce blu-ray discs when available. My thought was to edit everything now in HD and then down convert the edited project in compressor with the SD DVD presets. I've tested that method and it works, ok? Have some flicker at times in the motion scenes. Is this the best way or close with some tweeking?
    Could I edit it in DVCAM mode to produce the SD DVDs and then when I'm ready for the Blu-ray recapture from the tapes to HD?
    Any help and guidance would be much appreciated.
    Mike

    I'm shooting mostly school plays and concerts. The lighting is not ideal and usually fairly dim compared to what video or film actually wants. I've found that with the Sony V1U, which is not a great low light camera, shooting in 30p allows the shutter to be as slow as 1/30 of a second, so the camera doesn't need as much auto gain to give me the brightness I want. So there is less noise that way. I capture that in ProRes 422 30p (you have to set it up manually, there is no easy preset for it). When things move rapidly, I get blur rather than interlace "lines". I like it better. Many shoot in 24p for similar reasons: motion blur and film look. I'm never going to film, so 30p is better for me.
    The only issue I've ever found is when the light is pretty bright (outside on sunny day), the shutter speed gets faster, like 1/250th of a second or more. Then motion is not so blurred, and you get "judder:" the picture jumps from one image to the next more obviously. If you freeze frame on each one, it is a pretty good snap shot every 1/30th of a second. WIth 60i, you get 1/2 the frame every 1/60th of a second which is the proceeded the other 1/2 1/60th of a second later. Most TV sets show that pretty smoothly, but you can still get interlace lines. It all depends on YOUR preferences and those of your audience.
    I find that they both down-rez to SD using compressor quite well and using either HDV or ProRes can produce equally good results. With HDV, you don't get 30p on capture, but 60i with each frame being 1/2 of the 30p frame. I find that the ProRes 30p compresses marginally better on fast action.
    My suggestion: get a camera and a tape and shoot bunch of stuff at 1080i60 (outdoors, indoors, high contrast, stripes (H and V and diagonal), low light, lots of light, using ND filters (built into my V1U); then shoot the same or similar stuff in 30p.
    Capture all that stuff in HDV native, ProRes 60i and 30p (for the stuff shot in 30p). Put it into FCP timelines and then compress to SD using compressor. Use DVD SP to create a DVD with all of the various tests on it (properly labeled with titles and menus) so you know what's what. Then view that DVD on a variety of TV set and computer monitors (if computers are part of you delivery). You'll know pretty quickly what works for you.

  • Converting an XDCAM 1080/60i 35 VBR timeline to SD 16:9 quicktime

    I've created a project in an XDCAM 1080/60i 35VBR timeline. I'd like to export a
    standard definition 16 x 9 quicktime out of it for presentation purposes to people without
    the facility to play XDCAM discs.
    I know I can do this with FCP and/or Compressor, but I'm not sure how.
    Can somebody tell me precisely how to go about this?
    Thanks for any assistance.

    If you don't have the money to pay for a high quality hardware based standards conversion then you can use a slow (but still good quality) software conversion method ... try Apple's own Compressor application which is part of your Final Cut Studio suite
    Or if you prefer to stay within FCP then you might want to have a look at Graeme Nattress's excellent Standards Conversion plugin set:
    http://www.nattress.com/Products/standardsconversion/standardsconversion.htm
    By the way, if you go with the former then don't waste your time staying in the XDCAM codec, instead you'd be better targeting Apple ProRes 422 as your edit intermediate codec for the converted clips. Similarly, if you prefer to stay in FCP and need to to do a timeline based conversion using the Nattress plugins then you would likely do well to set your sequence format to Apple ProRes 422 rather than native XDCAM HD.
    Cheers

  • Converting 1080/50p video for import into Premiere Elements

    Hi there,
    I'm currently looking into buying an HD camcorder, and editing software to go with it.  I'm considering getting a camcorder which can record in 1080/50p for future-proofing, however I see that Premiere Elements doesn't currently support 1080/50p editing.  I was wondering whether I could sensibly shoot video in 1080/50p for archiving, but convert it down to either 1080/50i or 720/50p prior to importing into Premiere?  Is there a suitable intermediate input format which Premiere supports and which wouldn't result in a significant loss of quality due to the extra transcoding step?
    Also, what is the recommended system requirement for 1080/50i and 720/50p editing?  I have a 2007 Macbook (2.2 GHz Core2 Duo, 4GB RAM), would that be sufficient?
    Thank you.

    Thanks a lot for the very quick response Steve.
    I suspect shooting 1080/50i is likely to be the way to go, I'll obviously have a play once I get the camera.  I just wanted to check whether it's feasible to shoot in 1080/50p, but convert to 720/50p prior to importing into Premiere Elements.  That way I can keep a copy of the 1080/50p clip to use in a few years time when the consumer editing software has caught up.
    If I were to do that, what's the recommended file format to convert to prior to import?  Is there something similar to AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec) which is fast to convert to and edit from - ideally I'd rather not convert to 720/50p H.264.  Is there a list of Premiere Elements' supproted input formats somewhere?

  • How can one convert a picture to 1080 pixels in height at 72 dpi and retain the aspect ratio?

    How can one convert a picture to 1080 pixels in height at 72 dpi and retain the aspect ratio?

    The ppi has nothing to do with this. It will stay at whatever it is.
    Go to image>resize>resize image, turn ON Resample image and enter 1080 for the height, making sure to leave constrain proportions turned on. Don't mess with the ppi setting.
    If the image is set to another ppi setting, then after you're done with the above, go back into that window, turn OFF resample image, and set the ppi to 72. PPI only affects the inc/cm measurement.
