25p to 24p

[kerrigan]

My FS700 was in the PAL region setting… and I accidentally recorded 1080p at 25fps rather than 24fps. (codec / AVCHD)


I need to convert the footage to 24p.
In the past I've used hardware at a lab, but I shot this for free, and I'm paying for the conversion.
I don't want to compromise the quality, but I liked to spend as little as possible.
Any suggestions?

Start a project @ 25P in an NLE
Layout the media on a video track
Export as a file seq like DPX
Export the audio as WAV
Start a project @ 23.976 in an NLE
Import the DPX
Import the WAV
timewarp the audio to fit the video
Export a highquality QT for your client

if your NLE of choice does not do a good job of timewarping audio then send the audio to a DAW of some flavor, i use Avid|DS and it does a perfect audio conversion.

If you have Premiere, just import the 25P footage into a 23.97 project, select all the clips and adjust the interpretation as 23.97 and the individual clips should playback fine. If you have just nat sound, you will be fine.
