60p in 24p timeline - what am I doing wrong?

[pjlefe]

Warning - this is a pretty basic question.

I shot a clip with a frame rate of 60p and dropped it into a 24p timeline in CS3/4. I have always shot 24p but wanted to experiment with the slo-mo effect. It plays back just like my 24p clips do. What am I doing wrong? Is there a setting I need to configure on my CS3 project?

I just got my HVX last week and had the same problem.

The thing is, the 60p footage is still 60p. You have to make it 24p before you put it in the 24p timeline (the timeline will not convert it automatically). I use FCP, and there is a tool, I think its called "DVCPRO-HD frame rate converter". I'm not sure if Premiere has the same name for it, but there's got to be a way to do the same thing. search "premiere cs3 dvcpro-hd frame rate conversion"

go into your camera menu file-go to recording setup- turn to 720/24pn. then go to scene file on the main menu- turn frame rate to 60fps that will record 60 frames and play them back at 24... get the hvx boot camp series to get down the camera....

calix, when you over crank like you're suggesting, it eliminates the ability to record sound while shooting 60p. which to some people is very important.

and pjlefe, i'm not certain on how to conform the 60p stuff to 24 or 30 with premiere(i'm mostly a fcp user) but i'll look into it. maybe another user will chime in on that. i'd like to know since i just started playing with premiere a little bit.

yeaa...I just do 60p and put into a 59.964 timeline or whatever it is. and just slow it down in post..works really good

there is a cool tip on this that might help you and im hoping it will help me with my frame rate converter issue. FCP FRC was no help for me. Go to videocopilot.net and look for frame rate converter. watch the tutorial.. im sure it will help you.

Can't you just put it in your 24p timeline and then slow it down to 40%?


That's the way I do it. Without slowing it down, the program just thinks you want a realtime clip and applies something similar to a pulldown/frame removal to conform it to 24 frames. When you stretch it to 40%, you're going whole frame by whole frame and then get the desired effect.
