IPhone 4S / FCP X: Converting 30fps to 24fps?

I found out after I was done shooting and editing my video that there's an app that lets you shoot 24fps with your iPhone.
I have a project that is finished in FCP X, shot with an iPhone 4S. Now I just want it to be 24fps (23.98 or whatever) instead of 30fps.
Is it too late? "Frame rate" in Project Properties only showed 30fps in the pulldown list. Will FCP do this conversion for me or do I need to use another program? Compressor? I can't find anything else in FCP X that will let me make that adjustment. I did this with FC Express in the past but I forget how and everything looks different in X anyways.
Thanks.

Start a new project and set your frame rate to 24p
Now import your iPhone clip (which should be 30P) and add it to your primary storyline.
Highlight the clip and click on the retiming option icon.
Choose Conform Speed
The clip on the timeline will conform to 24P, however as Tom mentioned the clip will slow down a tad and audio pitch will be adjusted by FCP X.
Hope that helps
Tony

Converting 30fps to 24fps

Hello All,
I recently shot a project for work that I would like to have that "film" look. I shot it at 30fps using a Canon XL1 and would like to convert the footage to 24fps. Is there a filter, effect, or setting in FCP to do this. I have shot in 24fps before using a Panasonic DVX100-A but, since I didn't have that camera at my disposal how can I accomplish this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

How do you convert 60fps to 24fps in FCP X

How do you convert 60fps to 24fps in FCP X for or do I need to figure out the percentages and use that optical flow tool, because I have tried to figure it out but there is a blurry trail when I use the optical flow tool.

Thanks Tom, so can you do that after it's already been imported? I am out shooting this afternoon, but I will look for it when I get back to the studio. I appreciate the help, I haven't had a lot of time to spend relearning FCP, so any help I can get to make my life easier is super appreciated.
Cheers,
Matt

FCPX Mixed Frame Rates? 30fps AND 24fps in same project?

Just got done doing a multicam shoot for a large event where I had multiple people helping me out. We all shot at 1080p on a variety of Canon DSLR cameras and a Go Pro and a MiniDV Consumer Cam. I thought everyone got the memo to shoot at 30fps, and most everyone did, however one of my Canon cameras shot at 24fps. I know I've heard in the past mixing frame rates can cause issue in other programs, and I know FCPX can handle multiple frame rates, but what sort of trouble am I in for if I want to use footage from cameras using 30fps and a camera using 24fps in the same final product? Is the 24fps stuff going to choppy or weird if I use it in a 30fps sequence/project? My final deliverable at this point can be 30fps or 24fps, it is not stated and I want to make sure evrything looks good so what should I set my project settings for? Any ideas?

Ah - no - conforming simply resets the frame rate information. You should re-conform it back to 29.97...
Here's what I think you'll need to do. If the majority of your material is at 23.98, make your main sequence that. Cut everything at that 23.98 - you'll have to render any 29.97 material then, but when you've locked picture, look at the sections with 29.97 stuff and if it looks okay, just skip to making the DVD. If it doesn't, you'll have to insert a pulldown by exporting your sequence then bringing the quicktime back in, adding a pulldown with Shake ($500) or Nattress frame rate converter ($99) - OR try this - edit it to tape and a pulldown will be inserted, then recapture.
Once you have a 29.97 version of your clip, cut it into a 29.97 sequence and re-cut in the 29.97 material (now you won't need to render). Then export for your DVD.
Now - after all this, are you sure that your 30fps material is NOT 29.97 with a pulldown? Did you check this yet?

Conforming 30fps to 24fps

Hi,
I know FCP have tools like Cinema Tools to easily conforming 30fps to 24fps. Can Adobe Premiere do the same??? Also if you conform a file to 24fps from 30fps will there be a lost of quality to the footage?

re 30 to 24. Speed up your audio the appropriate amount. Play it on set while recording at 29.97.
When you retime the video to 24 fps, life is good.
fwiw - The people in front of the camera must have talent as actors for this to work.

I upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 6. Everything converted fine until I deleted an app in error. When I downloaded it from iTunes, my account is no longer recognized by the app's host servers. Can I go back and re-sync one app from my old phone?

I upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 6. Everything converted fine. Yesterday I deleted an app in error. When I downloaded the software it from iTunes ( did this many times on the old 3GS), my account is no longer recognized by the app's host servers (Playtika), even though it did after the initial conversion. Can I go back and re-sync just one app from my old phone?

Try deleting what is called the iPod Photo Cache.

Footage shot at 30fps needs to be converted/ edited into 24fps project

Hi,
I've already searched the postings and found a similar topic, but didn't quite solve dilemma.
I'm an Avid person myself, but am helping someone on FCP. He shot a feature at 24, apparently some footage was shot at 30fps by mistake. Is there a way to convert the footage? I guess the system won't let him capture at 24, so he captured this footage at 30 and rendered the clips but it looks like crap. I appreciate any help or suggestions anyone is willing to offer.
Thank you,

Well, this is a Final Cut Forum question actually, but it doesn't matter.Graeme Nattress has a standards converter that' ll do the job just fine.It should be here:

Convert 30fps Motion template to 24fps

I found info on the boards about converting 24fps to 30, but that does not seem to work in reverse.
I have several (400+) motion templates created at 29.97, which I occasionally need to use at 24fps. When I drop them in the 24fps timeline in FCP, they are fine until rendering, at which point they get truncated. A 12 second intro, although still 12 seconds, only shows approximately the first 9 seconds of the template and abruptly ends.
As a quick workaround, I tried simply fading it out at a convenient point in the intro, so it wouldn't look bad. However, changing the opacity forced a re-render and somehow it still didn't fade out at the right point. For now, I've been creating a separate sequence at 29.97 with just the intro, filling the drop zones, titles, etc, exporting a QT movie, bringing it into compressor to transcode to 24fps and then re-importing into the original timeline.
I tried creating a new 24fps project in motion, copying all the layers from the 29.97 template project and pasting them in, but that also didn't work. To show the whole project, it needed to be approximately 14 seconds. Is there a way, short of completely recreating the projects from scratch, to get this to work? And yes, I know this may all become horribly broken in a few weeks when they release the new version.

I'm sorry I don't have a good answer aside from what you're trying - rendering out a QT movie and putting that in your timeline...

How do you convert DV 30fps to 24fps?

I am trying to capture DV 30FPS NTSC. I can't seem to capture it to another preset of DV Pal or any other preset. I want to know if its possible to convert my footage to 24FPS or 25FPS. Would I use the media manager after capture or is there something I can do during capture?

Capture the footage as shot - you can't convert to PAL on capture.
You can do pretty good standards conversion (post capture) in Compressor, details here:
http://www.macworld.com/2006/02/secrets/marchcreate/index.php?pf=1
I've tested this method and the results are pretty good. Or you could buy the Nattress plugins, which are excellent value.
Don't convert till you're finished your edit, then just convert the master or final sequence.
Remember also that the vast majority of PAL VCRs and DVD players can play NTSC, as can most newish PAL TVs, so you may not strictly need to convert at all.

Converting 30fps audio to 24fps

Anybody run into this issue? I need to convert the live concert audio from 30 fps to 24fps so it will sync with the camera footage. (Don't ask how it happened) Can Compressor do this? Any help would be much appreciated.

I think compressor will not.
I did similar thing in Windows app called Adobe Audition.
First you need to "resample" - it is in edit menu, then "convert sample type" back to original.

Convert final 30fps to 24fps

i've filmed a project in 29.97fps and exported as current. But for a film festival wants it in 24fps. I tested that as a test in Apple Pro Res and of course the opening tiles repeat and inspector saw it in 23.97fps. is there a format to keep the frame rate at 24 film style look (23.97) with the recored 29.97? Especially burning it onto blu ray (in toast)

>is there a format to keep the frame rate at 24 film style look (23.97) with the recored 29.97?
What? Are you asking how to get the 24fps look, at 29.97 fps? or how to convert 29.97 final to 23.98 to fulfill the film festival requirements?
I just had this same issue...indy doc that has been shooting over 8 years, started as SD 29.97, but eventually had some HD at 29.97...all needed to be HD, so I did so, and had a 29.97 master. Now required to deliver 23.98. I did the smart thing and took it to a post facility that has a Terranex and had them convert it. $100/hour, so $300. And it looks great. I tried so many other software methods and all had odd recurring frames, or jumps due to frame removals, and didn't look smooth.
Where are you located?

Convert 30fps to 60fps?

Is there reliable way to convert a 24 or 30fps clip to 60fps, in AE CS5? (probably the same in CS4)
Applying Timewarp at 99.99 speed (with Pixel Motion on) doesn't always seem to work. It worked with a 30fps video I tried, but now I have a 24fps one, and it's spitting out tweened frames that aren't very different from the "real" frames (in other words, it's not making the video smoother).
Thanks!

I think we are talking about different things. Increasing fps is pretty meaningless, if the clip is never played at that exact framerate, which applies to a lot of video. You only change the content of the frames for no sensible reason by smooshing in "wrong" pixels. Furthermore, I really don't see the point in adding inbetween frames at the cost of reducing overall sharpness and getting that floaty feel. The resulting frames are never physically exact, anyway, as neither their direction sampling nor their timing mimics a true shutter. Call me old-fashioned, if you will, but I truly don't see any use case for this. In mixed media projects, there may be conformed clips, but nobody would treat all footage just at whim. If this is some requirement for a specific delivery system, then okay, but even then I would assume that just doubling frames looks better than interpolating them. Anyway, your issues are very likely due to not obeying pulldown cadences, which naturally occurs when going from 24fps to 30fps/60fps. Check your footage interpretation on that one. Also verify, that your cam actually shot 24fps, not something else, including possibly "fake" 24fps based on 60fps with tagged frames...

Change 30fps to 24fps

I have a Canon EOS 60D DSLR camera and accidently shot my video in 30fps instead of 24fps. Is there any possible way I can convert the clips to 24fps on Final Cut Pro X or some over clip converter site/download that is free with no charge? Anything will help! If I can do it on FCPX, how do I do it? Thanks!
