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.

  • 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....

  • 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!

  • How to edit 60i Footage as 60fps, im only getting 30fps

    I am trying to edit my 60i Footage from my Canon xh-a1s, and i can only get it to use 30fps. What capture settings, and project settings should i be using to get the 60fps? I really need 60fps for some shots i want in slow mo. Thanks

    60i is an incorrect (and often confusing) way of saying 30 interlaced frames per second.  This is the norm for 1920 x 1080 media.
    If you want genuine 60 fps, you'll need to shoot at 720p/60 (which the Canon won't do, but JVC cameras will), or use one of the newer consumer Panasonic cameras which record 1080p/60.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • What is the best way to conform 60fps footage to 24fps without slowing it down?

    So I understand how to time remap and how to reinterpret frame rate of 60fps footage to slow it down, but I am at a loss as to how I can make it 24fps without just rendering it as such, which will give a stuttered export.
    I am shooting on a Rebel t3i which only allows me to shoot in 720p at 60fps. Is there any way to drop the frame rate of footage without changing the duration while maintaining the quality?
    Thanks for any help in advance!
    Shiraz

    After Effects would probably do a better job, since its frame interpolation algorithms are capable of smoother results, at the expense of greater processing time. It's a similar process there--drop the 60p clip in a 24p comp, and enable Frame Blending for the footage item and comp. Frame Mix is approximately what Premiere Pro does, but Pixel Motion is more sophisticated: Adobe After Effects CS5 & CS5.5 * Frame blending
    There's also the Time Warp plug-in in AE, as well as third-party plugs like Twixtor.

  • 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 :)

  • Import old footage to slow it down

    I have a DVD made using old footage from a video film camera (remember them). The original footage has been converted by someone else and dumped onto a DVD. I have captured that footage to my Mac and am ready to edit it in FCE to get the sequences etc in the right order and drop out the "rubbish".
    I notice the footage seems to run a bit fast.
    Is the a speed correction factor I should use? Like 90%??
    Suggestions please.
    John

    Watch the footage on the DVD. If it plays fast also, the wrong frame rate was used during the film-to-DVD transfer (or the motor was turning too fast) or it was originally shot at the wrong frame rate.
    If it doesn't play fast on the DVD, then it may be the conversion process or settings you used when converting the DVD's VOB files into an editable format.
    FWIW, there is no one speed that will be correct in all instances; it all depends on how fast 'too fast' is.

  • Settings for 1080/60i Footage

    I'm in new territory here. I've previously only worked with 720/24p (Varicam) footage and am now working with some 1080/60i footage that originated in 1080/24p. It's a long story (see PS below if interested). Bottom line is we're stuck withi 1080/60i My question is this: The footage in FCP looks fine (for interlaced) but when I send it to compressor for DVD, the footage looks like it's low resolution (like it's 1/2 the amount of lines, but doubled) compared to everything else I've ever compressed. There are jagged edges everywhere... you can count the lines on certain objects in the frame... even/especially in progressive playback mode. It looks pretty bad. I've tried so many different settings and can't find a combination that works. Anyone out there with a solution?

    LONG STORY: We shot our project using Sony's new XDCAM HD F350 in the 35 Mbs 23.98p mode. Well, FCP doesn't support that yet so we rented a F70 deck to record the HDSDI signal from the camera in 25 Mbs mode (which Apple now supports). Problem is: the HDSDI signal from the camera only comes in the 60i flavor. So now we have the situation mentioned above as our only workaround. Any other ideas? We're pretty late in our editing as it is due to all of this.

    Hey Roderick,
    i thought 720p material was only 59.94 or 60?
    anyway, i am going to star with the basic questions, as in how are you exporting from FCP and how are you setting compressor?
    you are down-resing your HD footage first, correct (in FCP)?
    i am surprised that FCP cannot take in 23.98 @ 35 mbps, but this sounds like mpeg2 (since you are compressing from your camera).
    i usually work on uncompressed 23.98fps and depending on the tape anywhere from 100 - 440 mbps and import to FCP no problem (although i still have to render it depending on how i am compositing).
    anyway, let me know what and how you are setting both FCP on export and compressor to compress.

  • Can iMovie edit 50p footage?

    Okay, so i don't yet have my Mac but am getting it soon, if everything goes right. So here's my question(s).
    Can imovie edit footage in 720p 50 fps I have a Canon 600D and are in a PAL region so 60fps won't do, or do i have to convert it?
    Also, i know that Final Cut Pro X cannot work with the H.264 codec, so can imove or again do i have to convert?
    One last question, with this brand-spanking-new 50p footage, i was planing to slow it down within iMove, but i have read somewhere that all imovie does is skip frames not double or triple the time that it is played over like most slow motions, or do i need to buy FCP X for this?
    Thanks
    The_Ele4ant

    Great video btw, I still have a few questions though.
    First of all how did you import and edit the 50p footage as a poster mentioned above that iMovie does not natively support 50p footage import an editing.
    Finally how did you achieve such fluid slow motion, did you find a way to do 'real' slomotion as in extending the played time of footage (therefore slowing sown without skipping frames) or the meathod of just skipping frames. All using iMovie or ther free software available on a mac.
    Thanks

  • Itunes music slows down randomly during play

    First, my system specs.
    CPU- AMD Phenom 9850 Quad @ 2.51ghz
    RAM- 2GB Adata ddr2 800
    GFX- ATI 4870 Radeon pci-e 500MB
    SFX- Creative X-Fi Sound card
    HDD- 80Gb, 250Gb, 500Gb, all sata2. (the 500 has all my music files)
    OS - Windows XP SP3 (It was doing the same thing in SP2)
    Itunes version 9.0.2.25 (version upgrade didn't fix)
    I have gone through and upgraded all the device drivers to be recent (in december). I've been dealing with this problem for a little over 8 months now that I can remember, and the driver upgrade didn't seem to help.
    Now the problem is that itunes is what I use to listen to music since it syncs with my ipod. But, this only happens in itunes (and recently on my ipod) not in windows media player or in winamp (or media player classic if I just play one song).
    It happens randomly. Some songs will play without a hitch a dozen times without a problem. Then I'll come back the next day and the song I was listening to the other day will slow down in the middle of the song. At first I thought it was distorted, but after it happened once or twice, I figured out that the song itself slows down dramatically so that the pitch is dramatically lowered. So much so that certain higher pitched long notes will sound like one long awful bass note. This will continue for a few seconds (it varies. Anywhere from one second to several seconds, up to at one point 10 seconds.)
    Sometimes moving the song backwards by clicking on the progress bar will fix it. This hasn't always worked though. Some songs seem to stay distorted and only fix themselves randomly. This is especially true on the ipod, where it seems a slowed-down song stays that way indefinitely. Admittedly I don't listen to the ipod as much so I may be off on that since it happens so infrequently. Though there are songs that play slowed down every time on the ipod (there is a messhugga song that keeps doing it only on the ipod for instance).
    It should be noted I don't run anything in the backround of windows. Here is a list of my task manager while running itunes.
    system idle proccess
    system
    svchost.exe
    svchost.exe

    lsass.exe
    explorer.exe
    csrss.exe
    winlogon.exe
    wscntfy.exe
    itunes.exe
    Processes: 18
    I do run a game pretty often (and listen to itunes as a backround) and I do browse the internet using firefox, so add to that list WAR.EXE and firefox.exe. Whether these are up or not does not seem to matter. The songs slow down with them up and with them closed.
    My 500GB HDD has 60GB of space left on it, but erasing/cleaning up the disk or defragmenting it hasn't seemed to help. My itunes library has 55.90 (8940 songs) in it. Cleaning up the library and removing excess duplicates didn't seem to fix the problem. I did move the library from the 500 to the 250, but moved it back when the same thing happened after a few days of playing music.
    My RAM doesn't max out, though 2GB is a bit low these days. The WAR.EXE process uses .800-1.4gb (800,000-1,400,000k) of RAM, and the rest of the processes seem to keep well under .400gb max total. itunes stays around ~.064gb (64,984k). And remember, firefox, warhammer online, and the rest running at the same time doesn't automatically cause the slow down. And it slows down whether they are both up or neither are randomly (I listen to itunes sometimes for long periods while reading or painting). I also replaced my RAM fairly recently (other stuff went bad) but the same problem persists.
    Lastly, this has happened on my ipod. The problem is that it seems permanent on the ipod, whereas the itunes on my pc will correct itself (seemingly) the ipod version will not correct itself until I sync the ipod.
    I have completely removed itunes twice (as well as gotten rid of the registry entries and loose ends using CCleaner). I have deleted the itunes libraries and let itunes create brand new ones. I have upgraded to the most (at the time) recent version of itunes. The problem persists
    I may be missing something. I hate using winamp and windows media player, so I haven't just stopped using itunes. But the real problem is that it is so random it's nearly impossible to test. I've tried several different methods of fixing this without tearing down itunes and re-coding it And every time, I THINK I've fixed it only to have it happen again within a week. Hence why this has been a problem for well over 8 months now. It's a small enough issue that I'm still listening to music without loads of problems, but it is a persistent, if infrequent, annoyance.
    ANY help you guys can offer me would be greatly appreciated, though I'm not holding my breath since the problem is so weird. But I am willing to try anything if it might work. I can only try them out till they don't work, right?
    Thanks ahead of time.

    I'm sorry to hear about your ipod, I'm also having the same trouble but my is been going on for like a day or two. I have a nano 5th generation but all of the sudden it reseted itself it turn itself off then apple logo appeared and after that it was playing the songs like it should, mine was the same as you I'll be playing a very fast song and then it'll slow it down it was frustraded I hope this will help you. good luck to you and to me too because I only hope that I won't have the same problem later on.
