Settings to use with 29.97 mixed with 23.976 in same timeline?

Hi everyone,
I just finished a short project which was mostly 24p (23.976) but had a few shots which were 29.97 interlaced.  I edited it on a 24p timeline (I dragged the 24p clip to the "new timeline" icon to get started.  I then had a few clips which I wanted to include but were 29.97.  I followed Andrew Kramer's tutorial on frame-rate conversion and got outstanding results converting the 29.97 to 23.976 which dropped right into my timeline. 
Was this an ideal way to work with mixed frame rates (progressing and interlaced, not just different progressive speeds)?  I've read that the output should determine the final rendering which in my case will most always be DVD.  I've been reading about the 24p Pulldown which looked like it might be easier to just use an interlaced timeline with the pull down on the 24p clips but then I've also read that there are 24p and 24pa clips that are different.  Am I making this more complicated than it really is?
Thanks,
-Stephen

Hi Jim, Thanks for replying.  It's all HD.  This particular project was mostly Panasonic AVCHD 29.97 footage.  The few clips I decided to add were from a Canon t2i shot at 24p.  Of course if I intend to mix them they should match but in case I run into this again I thought I better ask what the workflow should be.

    Did anybody reported this? never happened to me in previous versions.
    It seems to be solved when transcoding the 25p clips to 23,98p (both Canon EOS 5dMKII clips)
    But *** it must work!
    Thanx

  • What are the settings for using an ATT mail account with iPad mail?

    Dear Folks,
    I just switched from earthlink to att, and I can't seem to get Mail configured quite right. I can send email just fine, via stmp.att.yahoo.com. But when I try to receive email it tells me it can't connect to pop.att.yahoo.com.
    Since I can send OK, I figure my email address and password have to be good, so most likely I'm using the wrong POP server address.
    Would someone like to give me a clue?
    Thanks!

    Am having similar problems. Outgoing settings work on our iBook, using home wireless net, but the same settings do not work on our iPad. Why is this, and can anything be done to fix this?
    I am connected to our AT&T DSL modem via Ethernet cable. the modem is the wireless type, also.
    INCOMING: pop.att.yahoo.com
    USERNAME: [name]@sbcglobal.net
    PASSWORD:*************

    OUTGOING: smtp.att.yahoo.com
    USERNAME: [name]@sbcglobal.net
    PASSWORD:*************
    PORT: 465 w/Use SSL checked
    I entered this info into the iPad before syncing it and have tried many permutations to no avail. Talking to AT&T did no good as they suggested coming out and changing settings in the DSL modem, which would have precluded using it normally, and would have made it impossible to connect elsewhere with the iPad. D'oh!
    Apple doesn't have an answer as we spent a couple of hours with one of their "GENIUSES" and after asking his supervisor about it we left with only the mobileme capability. We can access the internet tho, just not use our own email address.
    All I can say is HELP--HELP--HELP--HELP--HELP--HELP--HELP--HELP--HELP--HELP-!!
    P.S. A family member who just left Apple told me that the next OS is going to be called "LION, OS7!"

    Hi,
    I don't know anything about how your setup is plugged into each other,so I'll gracefully and carefully go out on a limb:
    1.The Migraine Audio device,it has sound outputs...yes??? Are these outputs hooked up to any sound-generating devices,like speakers,yes??? If not,that would be one reason why you don't hear anything from the migraine device.
    2.The Core Audio Drivers in Logic,they are configuerd correctly,yes???? They are selecting the Migraine device as the I/O,yes??? If it is not,then you might be recording with the built-in mic,oohh la la,not a good thing.
    3.If you do have spekaers hooked up to the migraine-induceing device,they should be on,and the monitor knob turned to about 10am,so your migraine does not get too loud.
    Did the limb I go out on break,or am i still up on the tree?

  • PLEASE help with 24p editing mixed with 29.97

    Hello--I am a newbie to all of this 24p editing. I shot a zombie movie last summer and have a MESS with the footage. Half was shot in 24p advanced mode on the Panasonic AGDVX100a with a 16:9 anamorphic lens, and half shot at 4:3, 29.97 with a Sony DVX2100.
    I realize I need to "conform all of this footage".
    Can I stay on a 29.97 timeline? I heard that dropping 24p adv footage onto a 29.97 timeline results in a "jittery" picture once output to TV.
    Should I edit on a 24p timeline, and convert the 29.97 footage?
    It seems that when I drop my 24p advanced footage into Premiere (CS4), on a 24p timeline--the fouth frame is identical to the fifth. Does this mean that pulldown removal is not happening correctly? How do I fix this?
    Even if I do figure out how to edit on a 24p timeline, when I do my final render, what should my output file be? should I try a 24p DVD?
    Also...This is an EFFECTS HEAVY film. So I need to do an edit in Premier, then render it and bring it into After Effects, do the effects, and do another render...then I will take that render back into Premier. Will this work? What render setting should I use? How will the pulldown be affected, if at all?
    ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!! I have scoured the net, but have not come across the right answers yet...please help!!!!

    Hello orion,
    Your HDR-CX550V records HD as MPEG4 AVC/H.264; and SD as MPEG2-PS. It appears to be an AVCHD camcorder (at least for HD video).
    Storing your +original footage+ could be done at least two ways:
    1 - record to removable flash media and save the Memory Sticks as your originals, as you formerly saved your tapes. (If I did my math correctly, you could fit up to about 6.5 hrs. HD video on a 16GB memory stick depending on the recording mode you select.)
    2 - copy the +entire directory structure+ from the flash media to a hard drive; this is important, you need the entire directory & files from the root folder on down, not just the AVCHD folder or just the .mts files. Test this before committing to it as your archiving method.
    The third way (and what I would probably do myself):
    3 - Log & Transfer into FCE and then archive the resulting QuickTime .mov files to a hard drive. (Admittedly, this is technically not the 'original' footage because it has been transcoded to Apple Intermediate Codec; however the quality is excellent and should be almost indistinguishable from the original AVCHD video.)
    If you convert the video files yourself (you mentioned iSkysoft), you need to convert to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec to use the video in FCE.
    FCP can handle 5.1 audio however the state of the art of these camcorders does not lend itself to direct import or conversion from the camcorder. Even the pros need dedicated 5.1 audio hardware. Frankly, 5.1 audio on these consumer camcorders is more a marketing gimmick than something actually useful at present.
    The filenames 00001.MTS, 00002.MTS etc. are assigned by your camcorder and there is nothing you can do to change that. (Although you could rename the QT .mov files after you Log & Transfer from your camcorder).
    - hoping this helps ...

  • What to do with one 25i and one 25p file in same Timeline???

    Hey!
    I was bothering you with questions of how do I put 30p and 25i footage together, but things have changed. [i]HUNTREX and ANN BENS, thanx a bunch for your help)[/i]
    Canon released new Firmware for its 5D MkII camera, so I can shoot 25p and 24p... But now the problem is still there!
    Now I have Interlaced and Progressive footage to put together!!!!
    I also decided to get Cineform NEOSCENE which converts both MPEG-2 from my Sony FX-1 HDV camcorder and AVCHD (H.264) from Canon 5D into CINEFORM-AVI...
    So, to avoid mixing formats in codec part - I ended up with those AVIs!
    So for the first time yesterday I imported AVI-s made by NEOSCENE from both my FX-1 25fps (1080i) Sony camcorder and my 5D MkII 25fps progressive (1080p) into my PREMIERE PRO..
    Little difference in Contrast (Canon is better!!!) - but now I am left with NEW PROBLEM!!!
    I have, ergo, one Cineform-AVI, which is INTERLACED, and the other Cineform-AVI which is PROGRESSIVE (both 25 fps)...
    ]Which Preset to choose in PPRO?
    I tried with Sony's XDCAM EX 1080 25i preset - but then the Progressive material seems to have lot of flickering... Not to mention that both have YELLOW LINE above in Timeline - meaning it is not the Preset for those files, but it seems to be my best choice (regarding resolution and FPS)!
    ]Now, HOW TO HANDLE THOSE TWO FILES ON TIMELINE - One 25i, the other 25p?
    Do I deinterlace the 25i or do something else with 25p? How? Any Tricks?
    What would you do?
    And what preset would you use????
    Hope you'll be able to help me with this one!:)
    V.

    Hello again!
    If it were me, I would deinterlace the 25i footage and keep the project progressive. But it does really depend on what your final output requires.
    Little difference in Contrast (Canon is better!!!)
    Try using Premiere's color correction tools (fast color corrector, curves, etc.) for that.
    I tried with Sony's XDCAM EX 1080 25i preset - but then
    the Progressive material seems to have lot of flickering.
    Did you try interlacing the footage (Right click on clip, select "field options", and check "interlace consecutive frames")?

  • What are the best sequence presets and settings to use in FCE for the best resolution with the least amount on strain on computer?

    Hello!
    Can someone please help me figure out the best settings to use in order to obtain the best resolution in FCE4 for a television show that is going to be sent out on full size Sony DVcam tapes, with 4:3 aspect ration and audio output at 48kHz? I am currently working with mixed media sources in Final Cut Express, and I am wondering what the best settings (presets and preferences) are, in order to provide the HIGHEST resolution possible, while putting the least amount of strain on my computer system?
    I am importing mini DV-standard definition footage and still photos (from Canon Rebel camera, HD CMOS Canon camcorder that records in 1440x1080 at 48 kHz, and cell phone photos). For voiceovers I use the tools in FCE.
    I use Voltaic (which I use thanks to recommendations from Apple discussion boards, love it!)  to convert the footage from the HD CMOS-Canon HD VIXIA (HG 20) camera, and then I am using print to video to output onto Sony DVcam tapes (full size). This is for delivery for a television network that broadcasts in Standard Definition, so I need to produce the highest resolution and best quality possible that also puts the least amount of stress on my computer system.
    If anyone has any recommendations, help, or sources that can help me answer this question I would be greatly appreciative.
    Thank you!

    This is happening because your video clip properties do not match your sequence settings.  This is always a problem when you try to insert video from multiple camcorders/cameras (that use different video codecs, frame sizes & rates) in a single sequence. 
    It will help a lot if you provide more specifics - what FCE easy setup did you use to create your sequence?  For your DV footage, are you using standard 4:3 DV or anamorphic 16:9 DV clips?
    If you plan to export to standard def (DV/DVCAM) and are mixing DV from a miniDV camcorder, stills, cell phone images and AVCHD then I would suggest that you use the DV NTSC easy setup for your sequence.  Use MPEG Streamclip or similar utility to convert your non-DV video (your AVCHD video) to QuickTime/Apple DV-DVCPRO NTSC.   Then all your video will match your sequence settings.  Yes, you will have to crop the AVCHD footage to 4:3 and you can do that in MPEG Streamclip.

    Hey Redritr,
    Thanks for the question. iTunes purchases are billed to Store Credits first, before Credit Cards, as outlined by the following article:

    It also may be that the iTunes Store is prompting to verify your billing information:
    When there is a mismatch between the iTunes Store's records and your credit card company's records, you will receive an error message stating that your credit card's security code isn't valid or that your zip code does not match your bank's records.
    In most cases, this issue is caused by a formatting error in the billing address that you have provided. You can correct the issue by verifying that the information you have provided is correct, or by changing the format of your address to match the format that your credit card company has on file.

  • Lazy Nezumi - settings for use with CC

    I am finding it hard to find my way round way this software - the incomprehensible (to me) manual doesn't help - and I'd be grateful for a steer on what are good default settings for smoothing curves in freehand drawing.  None of the settings seem to help or have a simple and useful effect for freehand work.
    Can I assume that it only works with the brush tool and not with other tools like the Art History Brush?
    I know Trevor D has mentioned this software a couple of times.
    Thanks.

    David, you had me wondering there.  I don't think I have ever used the Art History brush.  I did try though, and initially thought LNP did not work with that tool, but with high settings I could see that it does.
    For smooth lines use the Massive Smooth preset with mode set to Moving Average.  The default values are good for the Brush tool, but seem to work better with much higher 'Amount' setting for the Art History brush.  But I have no experience with the Art history brush, and don't even have a clear idea how it works.
    Lazy Mouse with the Pulled string mode, are used for smooth lines with abrupt changes of direction.  You have to stop and move the cursor back a touch to take the tension out of the pulled string. Then move in the new direction and when the pulled string becomes taut the line will follow the cursor again. 
    Actually, the animated gifs on the site explain it better than my words
    Pulled String:
    Moving Average
    Moving Average + Catch Up
    I don't think that Guilaume ever sleeps.  He has never taken more than 30 minutes to reply to an email, even on Christmas day!  He is super helpful, and tends to respond immediately if you use the LNP Chat facility.
    If you check out the Feedback page, you'll find lots of LNP users that do 'similar' work to you, although I have to say none that were quite like your beautiful painterly type artworks.  You'll possibly recognize some of the names, and maybe swap some ideas with them.  It's quite a little community, but there isn't a forum unfortunately.
    I am not sure how relevant they will be to your work, but do check out the Constraint presets.  For line drawing I find they are really useful.

    What you need is not a mixer, but an audio interface with at least 4 mic inputs. There is a lot of choice there, but you should indicate a budget. You can go from, say, € 300 to € thousands, if you want.
    Roland UA 1010
    Focusrite Scarlett 18i8
    However, there are other options (like multi-out mixer plus multi in interface, or standalone mic preamps plus interface with 4 inputs, etc). I have little experience using these however so I really cannot say much about which one(s) to get. The two mentioned above both have four mic preamps, but they are by no means the only way to do it.
    The cheapest solution I can think of is to get a second 1204USB, plug it in, and in OS X create an Aggregate device (=the two are being merged into 'one virtual' interface with two discrete stereo (= four discrete mono) inputs. Disadvantage: you keep the same (limited) soundquality of the 16 bits convertors. Getting any of the interfaces mentioned earlier will also mean you'll make the significant step up from 16 to 24 bits sound.
