Entire edited timeline is 60fps, needs to be 29.97

Alright guys, I made a big mistake. I was given hundreds of GoPro videos to edit into a montage. I converted all of them to Apple ProRes etc etc. Then I edited all of them in my FCP sequence (using FCP 7 by the way). I haven't edited a video in about two years so it was refreshing to get back into it. However, my entire timeline is in 60fps. The sequence and the clips. Which is a huge issue when trying to prepare this video for the web. I tried dropping the 60fps clips into a sequence set to 24fps which obviously didn't work as planned. I also tried exporting a master copy at 60fps, then tinkering with it in mpeg streamclip to try and bring it down to 29.97 without getting the flickery/shuttering look. Am I just out of luck? I've realized that my mistake was big and entirely avoidable, but now I have a fully edited piece that took around a dozen hours and no way to deliver it. Again, I'm sorry for the amateur question but I need some help right now. Is there anything I can do to get this finished video from 60fps to 30 without the shuttering effect?
Cliff notes:
-Entire EDITED timeline (sequence and clips) are set to 60fps
-Needs to be delivered via Vimeo
-Thus, video becomes flickery when processed to 30fps
-Can I fix this without completely starting over?

then ask the experts at 'your' forum:
Final Cut Studio
here: FCPX.
In FCPX you would simple copy/paste the entire Projects timeline into a new Project with correct framerate - done.

    You have 10.6 on that machine, I suggest you stick with it for performance, third party hardware and software reasons as long as possible.
    Consider 10.8 (not 10.7) when it's released, because 10.7 and 10.8 will require a new investment in software and newer third party hardware as it requires newer drivers the old machines won't have. (forced upgrade because of software, really nice of them)

  • I just updated to new final cut pro x 10.1.1 and i am also on mavericks so but on my editing timeline i was trying to color grade using magic bullet looks but i am having problem with it. when it comes back to tcp x it's black.

    I just updated to the new final cut pro x 10.1.1 and i am also on mavericks so but on my editing timeline i was trying to color grade using magic bullet looks but i am having problem with it. When i send a sample to MBL and color grade it , it comes back to final cut pro x all black even after render. By the way on the MBL i am using the GPU rendering, I used before like 4months ago and it was fine. And i don't like to use the CPU because it very slow.

    What is the frame rate of the project? At what frame rate was the media recorded? What frame size?
    What are the audio settings?
    What are the specs of the machine, in particular how much RAM, how is the hard drive connected, etc.?
    If possible, post screenshots of the inspector for the project.
    It could be related to the audio frequency?

  • Purchased Acrobat XI, need to edit a form, I need livecycle to do so, can't install trial on my Mac?

    My boss put Acrobat Pro XI on my Mac, I need the lifecycle to edit a form but don't know how often I'll need this tool. When I tried to download the trial, it didn't seem to support mac OS, what is the deal?

    To create and edit PDF forms you need Acrobat Standard as a minimum.
    If those forms require Extended Rights applied to do the following, you need Acrobat Pro:
    Allow Adobe Reader users prior to version XI to save filled-in forms
    Allow Adobe Reader users to complete digital signature fields
    See http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/product-comparison.html
    Normally the underlying page layout of a form is created and edited in the original application (Word, InDesign, etc.) and Acrobat is only used to add the interactive fields after the PDF has been created. Acrobat Pro can do basic editing of page content but it's a long way from a word processor!
    'Acrobat Plus' is simply a subscription version of Acrobat Pro with Adobe's cloud-based  storage and tools included. The software itself is indentical to the regular Pro version.

  • SNMP on Standard Edition RAC, do I need to pay for a license

    Hi,
    I want to enable SNMP on Standard Edition RAC.
    Is OEM free to install on Standard Edition ?
    Does OEM need a specific Management Pack for SNMP ?
    Thanks
    john

    What I do know is that you need at least one Management Pack to be allowed to use e-mail notification.
    I guess this is the same when talking about SNMP notification.
    To be sure contact your Oracle Sales Rep.

    Thanks for the responce but unfortunately Precision Editor is greyed out just like all of the other editing tools. I hope Apple is working on a fix because I have some videos I'm trying to finish.

  • Using photoshop album starter edition 3.o and need to copy to laptop, missing my program cd.

    I am presently using photshop album starter edition 3.) and need to copy to new laptop.  I have misplaced my program cd.  Is there any way I can get this program on my laptop.  It is windows 7 and the photshop is on XL.  Thanks so much.

    I am sorry but we no longer have older software available for download.  I am not sure Photoshop Album Starter Edition would even function in Windows 7. 
    I would recommend trying Photoshop Elements 10 on your new computer.  It has all the features of Photoshop Album Starter Editon plus many more.  On top of that it has been designed to work with Windows 7.  You can find more details at http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-elements.html.

  • Syncing DAT audio to a edited timeline

    Our project is shot in 24P advanced.
    Because of a deadline we had to use audio from the camera.
    Now we are ready to sync audio with the DAT tapes.
    I am very ignorant to this process.
    Will I have to go from clip to clip in the edited timeline syncing up audio or is there a more efficient way to attack this process.
    Any help or thoughts will be greatly received...

    Hi Bob-
    Unless you sync jammed timecode at the shoot, you will have to sync up the pld-fashioned way - slates. I am assuming here that you slated every shot...

  • How can I automatically change my edited timeline from 24fps into 25fps?

    Hello everyone,
    I have a timeline in 24fps with 24fps footage. I have to convert it (the timeline and the footage) into 25fps, so I can put a 25fps Timecode in it (it was a 24fps 16mm film material and it has to be rescan in 25fps...). Is there a way to do that? I mean beside of reedit everything in a 25fps timeline. The footage was quicktime prores 4444, I made merged clips of it and edited it then, so I have only merged clips on the timeline.
    I would be very thankful for any suggestions!

    Hi Richard, unfortunately I need to burn in Timecode from the source clips, so this won`t help me:/ but thanks for your answer! I think the only possibility for me is to create a new timeline in 25fps, modify the source footage from 24 into 25fps and reedit it. Is there any way to use command match frame (and reversed match frame) from merged clips in a timeline to source material from which I created the merged clips? so the source footage and not the used merged clip will be loaded into the source monitor? it would make a reedit much much faster...

  • Premiere Pro, MacPro late 2013, AMD Fire Pro 500, editing timeline screen-freeze out.

    Adobe Premiere Pro software and my new MacPro with AMD 500 FirePro will not play nice together. Just for the record, I recently purchased two MacPro Late 2013, 6-core, 16GB, AMD FirePro D500, running OS X 10.9.5 systems. We now edit in Premiere Pro through AdobeCloud and have been a buzz about it until we switched to the New MacPro.
    Issue: The timeline in Premiere Pro keeps locking up, crashes, displays artifacts in the video and keeps stuttering on top of it in both Mercury PlayBack GPU (OpenCL) and Software modes (both act the same). Searching many posts and possible solutions online to this problem it seems this is a common issue that has yet to be fixed.
    I have called both Adobe and AppleCare and both seem to be pointing the finger at each other without admitting any fault what-so-ever. Shame on both of you for ignoring your core base customer and providing a fix. After hours spent on the phone with both companies trying to just get help resolving this issue, with no resolution what-so-ever or any real work-around, it is my opinion that I have been conned.
    I have no other conclusion to come to. I generally do not post, mainly because I do not have the time to do so. I prefer searching posts to find a solution or calling the Pro’s to get the answer if I can not find it or figure it out on my own. So sad to say I am now posting for the first time ever because I really do not know what else to do.
    As a Director Producer and editor of over 80 stand-up comedy shows that have premiered on the Showtime Network (all edited in FCP 7 and recently in PremierePro over the past 8 years) and who has invested 1,000's if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in product and time into both Adobe and Apple over the past 10 years, I gotta say I am very disappointed in both Adobe, Apple and AMD for what seems to be an unwillingness to admit fault or even acknowledge that this malfunction exists.
    Maybe this is just a good old fashion a con? Can't really decide which it is since I feel both conned, let down and deceived into purchasing the new MacPro and Adobe Premiere Pro products with the idea that it would not only make my life easier but would in fact save me money and time. None of which seem to be coming to fruition.
    In-fact I have lost a week in time that I will never get back and actual work (files lost) trying to come up with my own solution or work around to what seems to be a design flaw. Not to mention the over 10k we have spent supposedly upgrading to the most advanced and best working machine and software in the industry… right! Is that why these products are called Pro? MacPro, Adobe Premiere Pro and AMD FirePro 500??? Really? This is so not Pro, this has in fact become counter-PRO-ductive.
    With the advanced technologies of both these great companies these products are suppose to work as advertised and they do not. Shame on both of you for conning us who are loyal consumers into following you down this dark path while you fight it out and point the finger behind the vail at each other over what I am sure can be fixed, while we the consumer suffer your learning curve or unwillingness to admit fault.
    There are thousands of Editors and producers who have been “con"-vinced through great marketing to upgrade to the MacPro trash-can (starting to see why its called that) while trying to adapt years of work through Premiere Pro to have it stop because these three "Pro Companies" can’t seem to get it together. GET IT TOGETHER!!! All of you and get this fixed.
    Stop pointing the fingers at each other and get this fixed or years of good will be unraveled. Don't make us all go out and buy custom PC systems that might be faster and better working.
    Steve Jobs would have never settled for this mediocrity and unwillingness to admit publicly that something is broken. He would have gotten it fixed and fixed quickly before it even got to this point. Please … Fix this so I can get back to what I do, working on delivering shows and stop forcing me to waste my time writing posts that undoubtably get lost on def ears!

    The picture freeze comes randomly so there is no chance of seeing the usage in time and is only in Pr, not the MacPro at all. The time-line picture in Pr freezes and the sound continues to play out. Then when the timeline is stopped and we try and scrub to see movement, the sound scrubs normally but the picture does not. Eventually the clip in that section becomes either a freeze frame for the entire clip or it randomly turns green, sometimes not all green sometimes all green sometimes random lines of color artifacting. Then quitting out of the program is the only way out. Also at this point Pr does not quit completely, we have to do a force quit to shut it down. When it opens back up again the timeline is fine for another 20 minutes or so. Again longest run was about 2 hours before artifacting and freezing out.  Also at any edit point, we then have to render to see it play smoothly, it works intermittently sometimes ok for a period of time after the render. Also if there is no render, then there is nothing but stuttering in that area of the timeline which i know is not suppose to happen.
    FYI: below is the email I got back from the Support Associate I spoke with at Adobe just three days ago (October 3) who's thought was that it was a system wide problem with the OS X and that I should read his attached link (still no solution) which is also where I got some of my rhetoric about finger pointing and although I made it clear I was on 10.9.5 this link talks about problems with 10.9.3: of course, on the opposite side, the AppleCare supervisor I spoke to later in the day blamed it on Adobe Pr stating that no other program was experiencing these problems. Again no solution and more reason for frustration in my original post.

  • Media in the timeline says it needs to be connected, but it plays fine.

    Hey guys,
    I'm using Final Cut 7 and today I had to disconnect my external drive that has the project I'm currently working with on it. When I reconnected the drive and opened up my project ,some of the clips in the timeline where there is usually a picture of the clip, now says the media needs to be reconnected. However, all of the media still plays fine in the viewer and the canvas. I even reconnected the media, but it still looks the same on the timeline. I was just wondering if this has happened to anyone else, and if they know the solution to it.
    Thanks,
    Jack

  • Exporting C100 footage from an edited timeline proving impossible help!!!!

    The Canon C100 I now know shoots in a formate called PsF which is a type of interlaced that is but isn't interlaced? Yes I'm kind of confused.  Anyway Premiere reads the footage I shot as 1080i and 29.97fps though I shot it at 1080p and 23.976.  Yes I've talked to Canon Cinema EOS tech support team about this and they say they have no answers that it depends on the NLE I am using. I'm using Premiere CC on a Macbook Pro Retina, 15" fully loaded. 
    I decided to edit a timeline that Adobe chooses when adding the footage to it automatically. I export and I keep getting the error message. "Unknown error" HELP!!!

    I tried it both ways, I was on the phone with an Adobe rep who took control of my computer. We were on the phone for two hours while we tried different things. Here's what we found out. The mercury playback engine doesn't like the C100 footage. You can take Red Epic 6k footage and edit without a hitch with a macbook pro retina 15" but not the C100. I turned the renderer to "software only" and it took 10 times as long but it exported.  So for this particular project that's what I'll have to do.  As for Clipwrapped footage, it doesn't matter, Mercury hates it.  So it's time for Premiere to address the C100 directly. NOT AVCHD assuming that AVCHD is the same across the board because it isn't.  This whole PsF flavor of it is a pain to work with in any NLE. Anyway I'll keep researching. Thanks
