Convert HD to 24p... or as close as possible?

I have HD footage that I'd like (and have tried) to convert to "film quality" image. I know there's only so much that can be done, but I'm curious if anyone knows how to best reach this goal through iMovie HD and/or QT Pro. I tried as follows: I exported an iMovie project as QT full quality. Then, I imported it into QT Pro and re-exported from QT Pro with the 24p setting... but it doesn't seem to really have an effect. Any sugggestions? Many thanks!

you should ask this popular question in the FinalCut section of this forum... FC offers some tools & plug-ins to create a movie-look, which basicly is:
* progressive/no interlace
* different field of depth (video is everywhere crystal sharp)/more "blurr"
* different color rooms...
for iM, a cosumer product, you need additional tools, as QTpro7 or the JES Deinterlacer to accomplish some of these tasks....

  • Converting 60i to 24p

    Does anyone know how to convert 60i footage to 24p so the cadence looks smooth? I'm working on a long project and loaned one of my EX1s out to someone who changed the settings and forgot to change them back. Now I have 1 day's worth of footage where one camera was set to 60i and the other to 24p. My project is 24p and the 60i footage (even when deinterlaced to 30p) looks jumpy. I've tried putting it directly into the timeline (FCP7) and a couple settings in compressor. All fix the interlacing issue but none the cadence.

    First off, everything should be conveted to ProRes (LT or Regular is fine).
    In Compressor, select the ProRes preset and duplicate it. This will create a new preset under "Custom" that you will change the settings.
    Under the Video Tab, set the frame rate> 23.976, the field order> progressive and the Retimeing Quality > Best (Motion Compensated)
    Conversions will take a while.

  • Canon 7D 720/60p converted to 720/24p in Premiere Pro CS4

    I've exhausted all my resources trying to find a simple answer but it seems like anything regarding 60p to 24p is about slow motion video which I already know how to do and understand thoroughly.
    My question is, with my Canon 7D, there's no option for 720/24p (23.976), there's only 720/60p (29.97) or 50p.  Getting 30p video is simple because Premiere just drops every other frame.  Now 24p is a little trickier.  There is an option for 1080/24p which is overkill for what I want and need to do.  I also don't have the capacity in memory cards for that.
    I understand that if I drop a 60p video on a 24p timeline, Premiere will just drop frames.  But since 60 is not divisible by 24.. how does Premiere know which frames to drop?  I believe there's also a Frame Blending option as well.. how would that work? 
    I'm looking for the best way to convert 60p video to 24p in Premiere.  I can't imagine it being overly complicated.

    Thanks for the reply but I'm not sure who told you that 1080p24 produces smaller file sizes than 720p60.
    Canon 7D has a max recording limit of 4gb (per file) due to FAT32 file system restrictions.  At 1080p,  4gb = 12minutes.  On a 16gb card, that's only 48minutes.  At 720p, 4gb = 30minutes.  That's 2 hours.
    Then it's Canon's encoding scheme or sensor use that makes such a huge difference.  My AVCHD files from a Panasonic HMC150 are smaller at 1080p24 than at 720p60.  Which makes sense since the raw pixel count per second is less with 1080p24 (49,766,400 at 1080p24 versus 55,296,00 for 720p60).
    I have a tutorial on my web site about using dv2film, which is designed to convert 60i DV to 24p DV.  But it also works for HD footage.  Check it out and let me know what you think.

  • Convert 25p to 24p ... I *want" to slow it down by 4%. How?

    I have a FCP timeline in DVCPRO-HD 1080i50. Footage is shot in 25p in P2 format.
    I would like to convert to 24p. And I would like the converted timeline to be 4% slower. And so each frame is preserved and unaltered.
    I've looked at exporting to Compressor, but the conversion appears to "mess around" with the frames in order to not end up 4% slower.
    Is there a way to re-time each frames, and slow the timeline down by 4%?
    Many thanks.

    I exported the 25p clips as a self-contained QT file. Then I brought it into FCP and used Cinema Tools to Conform to 24p. Then I exported it again. The result: the 25p file and the 24p file were the SAME duration. In other works, it has not slowed down by 4%.
    I need a way to change from 25p to 24p by matching frame by frame, so that the 24p video is 4% slower.
    Any help appreciated.

  • How to convert 50p to 24p Film

    I have video footage shot by JVC-HD7 1920x1080 @ 50fps progressive after deinterlacing.
    And have perfect 50fps in final cut timeline.
    Need to convert it to true 24fps as film
    Simply I have tried changing the timeline to 24, the motion looks almost like film but I believe it is not 100% true 24p.
    Q1 How to convert 50fps progressive footage to true 24p?
    Q2 When 50fps is converted to 25p by removing every 2nd frame; then what happens to 25th frame in 24p timeline?
    Please Help, Tnx alot.

    You need a film scanner to enter the digital realm.
    Your friend is probably done with film because he knows digital photography is the way to go. So why don't you go fully digital as well? Or are you really in need of a film camera?
    You are looking at buying a locomotive to run where there is no track.
    EDIT: yeah, what JJ said with his faster fingers.
    And is 35mm really 'pro quality'?

  • Trying to Convert 29P to 24P

    Hello
    I recently shot some footage (by error), in the standard 29.97 frame rate. My other cameramen were shooting in 24P. Bad mistake on my part.
    I've read where Magic Bullet can actually help create a 24P look to 29P footage, but it all sounds rather complicated. Do you guys know where or how this can be accomplished?
    Here's a discussion about that;
    http://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/2/913964
    Thanx
    Mike

    Hello
    After much labor and research, I can finally answer my own question. Some of you may find this information helpful if you're having the same problem, or have just wondered how you might be able to solve this.
    There are actually several applications that will convert 29P standard interlaced footage to 24P or at least to a 24 film look (both options). This will help when you're trying to match certain footage to match a 'film look'
    No matter what you hear about the new Magic Bullet 2007, they are still testing a component called 'Frames', which may eventually do the job. They do have have other nice plug in filters similar to Nattress that will apply effects, (after the fact).
    But to actually get 29P to look like 24P, it seems a stand alone program works best (so far).
    And DV Film (easy to use), did the trick for me; http://www.dvfilmstore.com/dvfilm-maker-for-mac.html
    It's reasonably priced, renders fast and unlike 'After Effects' or any other complicated stand alone program, it won't tax your brain. So like as the old saying goes, if you want the job done, do it yourself.
    Hope this may help some of you
    Happy Holidays

  • Application icon converts to Trash icon after save & close

    I'll preface this by saying I do not have Time Machine running as I'm not connected to an extra hard drive. Hindsight is 20/20...
    I was working on a file in Powercadd, saved the file and immediately closed it. I had the Finder window open and saw my Powercadd icon change to a Trash symbol right before my eyes. It's still in the same folder as my other Powercadd drawings (not in the Trash), but now I cannot open the file and it seems to be lost. What would cause an auto-conversion to a Trash file and is there any way to restore the file? I tried adding a Powercadd extension after the file name to convert it back and that didn't work.

    TM would most likley not have helped in this case. It only saves every hour.

    No real way to tell why it "converted"

    It's best not to play with files that need to be recovered. Changing them can make them worse.
    I presume you are using PowerCad 8 and it has no auto-save function or crash-recovery function.
    When did you last run DU and repair HD and permissions? That might be a factor.
    Is the file size about right? If the size is very different from what you expect it to be, then it is probably lost. If the size is correct then it may be corrupt and in need of special recover tools that PowerCad might have.
    You might check your console logs to see what happened, but I am not sure where to look.
    I wish I could offer you more.

  • Shared Droplet for converting 30i to 24p

    Hey --
    Just thought I'd share this. I created a droplet for compressor that you can drop 30i material into it and it will convert the material (audio and all) to 23.98.
    It does it not by removing frames, but by using Compressor's Optical Flow technology to rebuild frames to create 'new' material.
    The goal was to incorporate old 30i material into a working project being done in 24 and try to make it as smooth as possible.
    I've tested it out on various sources and seems to work very well.
    This is not to say it is better or worse than other options out there... just another one that seems (for me) to work VERY well.
    Be prepared... it is a render nightmare! But the good thing about it is it will batch if you've got lots to do.
    So by clicking this link it will immediately begin the download:

    Sweet! Thanks.
    But, umm, for those of us who are totally clueless: Where do I put this? <smile> Sorry.
    I downloaded it in case I ever need it. Not doing anything right at this exact moment that requires it, but just in case.

  • How to convert 60p to 24p?

    We are shooting with the HDX-900. Mostly 720p. Our deck is the
    Panasonic AJ-1400. I'm looking at wanting to convert footage shot at
    60p to 50% slomo.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    In the Browser, does it say 59.94 for the frame rate? If so, then it is some hiccup. I hit this every now and then. In this case I would then use Cinema Tools to OPEN the clip and then CONFORM it to 23.98fps. COPY IT FIRST...it modifies the clip destructively...meaning it will be slow motion now forever...no going back.

  • I wish to install my adobe acrobat 9 on my toolbar so I can convert pages to a pdf. Is this possible?

    At times I need to convert a page to a pdf form. On IE I have the option to add it to my toolbar so I can convert it with a simple click. I cannot seem to find how I can do that in Mozilla.
    The attached image shows how it looks in IE (top left of screen shot).

    You might have to use Adobe as a helper application, unless the plugin adds something like that in the interface.

  • ITunes will not close!  possible scripting issue

    i'm coming across this situation almost daily, iTunes will refuse to close when i hit the close button or go File -> Exit. sometimes i will get a prompt that iTunes is scripting but usually it just doesn't respond to either methods of closing. obviously i can just go into Task Manager and force it to quit, but i shouldn't have to do that.
    any reason why this is happening?

    Some script is using the itunes COM interface.
    There are any number of things you could have DL'ed from the internet that would do this. You'd have to tell us!

  • Item Details - Event for 'Create', 'Close' buttons - possible?

    Hi Friends,
    I am looking for EPCF Events for Item Details iView. I am able to show the record in this iview by selectIdHandler. Now, i want to clear the iView content - the functionality when we click 'Close' button.
    So, does any one of you know any Events to fire Create, Close buttons on Item Details iView?
    Thanks,
    Raags

    Hello Raags,
    Have you discovered how to trigger any of those events? I'm having a similar issue.
    I need when I open the record to have it in Edit mode already, not to click the Edit button in order to get there.
    Let me know if you discovered a solution.
    Best regards,

  • I have a 4:3 project, but wish to add a wide background image to convert the program to 16:9 - is this possible?

    I have been asked to edit a 30min US TV program and prepare it for use on Australian TV. 
    The program is supplied as a downloaded .mov file in 640 X 480 (3:4).  I have created a FCP-X project and done the required edits.  The project is in NTSC 1080p 640 x 480, 29.97p format, but I'd like to convert it to a 16:9 format for Aussie TV.  I think this could be achieved by adding a wide (16:9) background layer to fill up the black sides when it goes to air, but I am not sure of the best procedure to achieve this, or if it is possible at all.
    Will I need to create a new FCP-X project first and then copy/paste the current edit?  What is the appropriate format of the new project, given the above specs of the current 4:3 project?
    Any tips helpful, as I am fairly new to this.
    thanks,
    Geoff

    The project is in NTSC 1080p 640 x 480, 29.97p format,
    That doesn't make sense. Is it HD 1080, which it absolutely shouldn't be, or is it SD 4:3?
    Edit your 640x480 programme. When you're done, select the whole thing and make it a compound clip. Copy the compound clip and make a new project. Make it standard definition widescreen 16:9. Paste the compound clip into it. You should get pillarboxing on either side of the video. If not, adjust the spatial conform setting in the inspector for the compound clip.
