2K scan conforming fps

[greg w]

My film archive has recently begun experimenting with a 2K monochrome frame-integrity film scanner. The capture rate varies from 3 to 5 fps.

THe quicktime .mov file that results from the scan lists a distinguished fps from playback fps. I'm curious about how to conform the clip so that it runs smoothly at 17 fps.

I have FCP 5.1 and AE CS3. Cinema tools doesn't provide silent film speeds and I'm told AE can do this work. So far, changing the frame rate in the time controls and then rendering and exporting the composition doesn't work.

New to the list, so apologies if this isn't the right place for the post.

Create a comp at your desired frame rate and drop in the QT. AE will automatically conform it to the comps rate, granted that's in you haven't checked off the "Preserve frame rate..." checkbox in the Advanced tab of the New Comp window. You can also use Interrupt Footage in the Project window to manually assign a frame rate to the QT.
