I'm not really out in the field shooting that much these days but just got pulled into a job I couldn't refuse. Cue Deniro in Godfather III "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!" I'm flying in to do this shoot arriving the same time as the subjects and the director, and they will...
I've got some footage I shot in 60i on a C100 with the intention of it being slowed 40% in a 24p timeline to make slomo out of it. I do this in Premiere almost automatically, but I'm wondering if Avid will do this too, or will Avid just insist that the footage is 60i on ingest and not do a nice...

I know there's a few Seattle based people on here so I thought I should give you the head's up that Cinerama will be showing some 70mm prints of movies like Lawrence of Arabia and Baraka this September. They're also going to be showing This is Cinerama on the 28th.
