Converting 29.97 stock footage to 25fps

I have some stock footage that is 29.97fps in my final cut express sequence and it jerks every second or so, while the rest of my footage is 25fps and plays smoothly - how do I convert the 29.97fps to 25fps so it plays smoothly. There is no audio with it, so that is not a problem.
I have the new compressor but I have no idea how to use it
Thanks

The low-cost way to convert NTSC footage to PAL is to use JES Deinterlacer. Convert the clip(s) to PAL and then re-import them back into FCE.
Is this SD or HD footage?

How do I save stock footage as flash file with transparent background?

Hi
I have some stock footage of smoke on a black background (.mov format) that I would like to convert to a flash file with a transparent background, which I will be overlaying over a PNG image on a webpage.
I have managed to remove the black background in After Effects using a plugin called UnMult, but when I try to render as a FLV file in AE, even though I check the option to preserve the alpha channel and encode using the On2 VP6 codec, I still get a black background.
So I am wondering what else to try, whether it be with AE or Flash CS4. Is there a way of achieving this effect by directly importing the MOV file into Flash CS4 and removing the black background there, or do I have to use AE, and if so, how to achieve the effect I am looking for?
I would be grateful for any help in getting this together
Thanks
Nick

You can put the video file in a movie clip and change it's
blending in the properties panel to multiply or screen.

I want to take stock footage of an explosion and import it into my flash cartoon project so that the explosion no longer has the black background. That way I have a real none cartoon looking explosion in the video with my cartoons. Is this possible? If so how do I do it?

convert the animation to a gif or png sequence (if it's not already) and import into flash. use modify>trace>trace bitmap to convert the bitmaps to vectors and remove the backgrounds.
or use a video editor to remove the video's background. rotoscoping with after effects would be a good choice.

In need of stock footage. Suggestions?

I need stock footage of Manhattan alleyways and the view from a taxi window driving. It will be for commercial use so I'll be paying for the licenses. Can anyone suggest some good venues for me to find this kind of footage? I've looked on istockphoto so far but I've had no luck with their selection - as I'm looking for very specific shots. Thanks in advance.

Try to order that stock footage from Getty, Corbis, Artbeats for LESS! You'd be shocked at the price...apparently you haven't been looking at that. Pond5 is cheaper, but they might not have what you want.
I asked someone to do the same for me once...I needed footage of a neighborhood and I asked someone if they would get me 5-10 shots...no more than 5-10 min of footage. I asked if they could do this for $400-$600...what it would cost us for the stock footage. He LAUGHED at me. $750 MINIMUM. Him and gear, that was cheap...even for a half day.
You gotta realize what the real costs for this are.

How to convert go pro 4k footage to AVC1 codec

hello just curious how can you convert go pro 4k footage into AVC1 codec?

>I have been editing footage from P2 card shot at 720 24p using H 264 codec in FCP
How? Panasonic P2 cameras don't shoot H.264. They shoot DVCPRO HD and AVCINTRA. How did you get it to H.264?
>apparently i should be using a ProRes LT setting.. codec???
Well, if you shot DVCPRO HD, then FCP brings it in as DVCPRO HD. If you shot AVCIntra, you have many ProRes options...ProRes 422, LT, HQ...Proxy for offline editing, and 4444, which you should not use.
>Have been using this setting since 2008, is this set when logging and transferring...can I up res. existing edited footage??
Again, how on earth did you convert your footage to H.264? FCP doesn't do it...I don't know of third party apps that do. And to make H.264 settings, you really have to go out of your way to do.
This is the workflow for P2 in FCP:

Good website for After Effects templates and stock footage in UK?

Hello all,
Can anyone recommend a good websites for downloading AE templates and stock footage in the UK please. I see plenty of gt American companies/ websites but I am reluctant to use templates and videos that are mastered in 29 frames and not 25 frames (UK).
Many Thanks
Joel Watt

Session timeouts.... I really do think it's the server. AE doesn't care for specific network stuff, it's all just volumes/ drives to the program. To avoid these issues, you would have to shorten the refresh cycles on your server availability broadcasts or the "keep alive" cycles on the connection/ session settings themselves. I'd know how to do it on Win Server, but I have no clue with regards to XServe configuration. Still, certainly some simple console commands and a restart of the server software should be able to take care of the matter.

Using DSS for home based video stock footage business

I have compiled a large library of underwater video and intend to start an online Stock Footage business. I'm trying to balance the pros and cons of having my site and streaming capability provided by commercial service providers (as I do now)...or to lease a T1, host my own site and use DSS.
Would appreciate any responses that help me make this decision. I'm not happy with my site's host service provide (APlus.net).

Best sites for FREE plug ins? Or stock footage?

Hello all, I am fairly new to iMovie and I want to spruce up some of my home movies with some plug-ins.
Can anyone point me in the direction of any sites that offer decent cheap (preferably free) plug-ins? Or any good iMovie fan sites that perhaps have more info on this sort of thing?
Secondly, I have seen a few sites that do free 'stock footage' - news clips and the like. For example http://www.archive.org/details/prelinger - does anyone know of any other good stock footage sites?
Hope you can help!

I bet
Boris FX will have what you want.

Your camera does not appear on the supported cameras list for iMovie '09 (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3290) but does appear in the iMovie'11 list (http://help.apple.com/imovie/cameras/en/index.html?lang=en_US).
So, I think you have to update your iMovie version. There are 2 options
1. Update to iMovie '11 which came with iLife '11. If you don't have an ilife '11 installer DVD you will need to purchase it from for example Amazon.
2. Since you are already running Mavericks, the app store should allow you to upgrade to iMovie 10 (which also supports your camera) but be prepared for the big changes in this version.

Convert HD low res footage to normal

I am having a problem with footage that was shot in HD. I am working in Final Cut 6.0
The footage was digitized onto a hard drive in low res because of the amount of space (gigs) it would take on the hard drive.
I created a new sequence and changed the settings in Easy Setup as
Format: HD
Rate: 29.97
Use: dvcpro hd 1080i60
The video rate in item properties is 29.97, can this be my problem? Or do I need
to change the format to HDV and rate to another speed?
Thank you.

If you are wanting to get the footage back to HD, you will need to re-digitize in HD. Is is technically possible to convert the low-res footage to HD, but the quality was already lost when you digitized in low-res. (If that is what you mean)

Managing stock footage from different projects

We're trying to figure out how to manage our stock footage. What we want to do is take stock clips out of a finished project, move them into a project that contains only stock footage, and then delete the project they originated in. That way we have all our stock footage in a single project that we can call up whenever we need to use it. Of course, we can do this manually by selecting the clips, copying them into our Stock project capture scratch and then re-connecting, but this is hugely time consuming. Any suggestions on a faster way to do this? We've thought about using Media Manager, but it seems that would only work the first time we created the Stock project. After that, with stock from other projects, it seems like we'd have to import and re-connect from whatever file Media Manger puts the clips into.

Whoops. Didn't realize that. New forums got me all confused. Thx Tom.

File Error when importing stock footage file

I just ordered a quicktime stock footage clip and when I try to import it I get this message.
! File Error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown.
I imported 3 other files from the same place, same size, etc., fine, but then this came up. Any info would be so helpful because this is for a project due tomorrow.

Click once on the clip. Now hit APPLE-I to GET INFO (also in FILE menu). This will tell you a lot of things, including what the codec of the clip is, and, at the bottom, what the PRIVELAGES are. Read/write, read only...stuff like that.
Does the clip open in QUicktime?

Convert 60i (30fps interlaced) to 50i (25fps interlaced)

Hi,
I was wondering what will Premiere CS6 (or Media Encoder) do if I ask it to convert NTSC (or 60i HD footage) to PAL (or 501 HD footage).
Will it just through a frame out every five.. thus giving me a jumping result.. or will it use some sort of algorithm to build a new 50i feed starting with the 60i feed?
What will this algorithm be? Like .. (just guessing) first filed first frame + first field second frame --> interpolated becomes first field... etc...
Can somebody give me a specific answer on how (if Premiere has it) this algorithm works?
Obviously I don't want/need slow motions, I don't want jumps in frames, etc...
I just need the best fastest way fo converting interlaced NTSC to interlaced PAL, keeping the same lenght, the same audio pitch, etc...
Thanks,
M.

We now can create 3d footage strting from 2d
And it looks every bit as bad as using Adobe tools to convert from NTSC<->PAL.
we dan create 50fps footage starting from 25fps
The math is very simple on that one, just show each frame twice. Not so going from 30 to 25.
