Exporting: Frame rate questions.

Hey guys,

I've been working on a project that involves multiple frame rates. Here's the set up:

These are video game diaries to be distributed both online and over xbox marketplace. The content consists of 24p footage shot with the HVX200 mixed in with game footage captured at 59.97 in 720p HD.

The marketplace content is suppose to be exported at 29.97 as a wmv. This gives the 24p footage a stuttery look, but the game footage looks passable. When I export at 24fps, the video footage looks good but the game footage looks ghosty.

First off...shooting in 29.97 is not an option. Our content requires the 24p look.

Am I wrong to assume that FCP automatically does a 3:2 pulldown?

Also, is it possible to export multiple frame rates in one video?

Any suggestions on how to get the best results for this export would be much appreciated.

Thanks for your time.
 
yes, you should be editing in a 29.97 timeline if that is what you need to deliver. For the HVX stuff, you should shoot 24p (not Advanced) and that will be perfect for the 29.97 timeline. I would run the game footage through compressor and do a frame rate conversion to match your timeline settings.

is the deliverable spec for marketplace conetent interlaced or progressive 29.97?
 
It's progressive. It will be available on marketplace as 720p, 30fps.

Maybe i'll try copying my project to a 29.97 timeline then and run a test.

So for the footage...run it through compressor simply to convert the frame rate?

Thanks for the advice.
