sync issue 720/30PN @ 24fps..

[Steadiguy]

I'm hoping that someone has done this before and has an solution! We did a multi-cam show and one of the cameras was set @ 720/30PN @ 24fps. Now we have footage that we can't sync because it 20% faster. We are cutting on a Avid Media Composer 2.8 and I'm hoping there is a way to fix it. Does anyone have any possible solutions?

Thanks

Was this the same post as the one over at the Avid Forums?

because if neither slowing it down by 20% or 25% didn't work, I'm pretty sure you're out of luck.

Try to dump the frames out as TGA/TIFF reassemble into MOV @ 23.987 regular speed, doubling certain frames into 30.


EDIT: But now that I think about it. I think you're SOL as it discarder frames on undercrank so the right speed footage will look like 12fps or something.

Ouch, that's a tough one. But you might be able to fudge your way out using this as a guide:

"MichaelP" on here is the next guy to ask about this.

Good luck!

Could you import into a 24p project maybe forcing out the 30pN in the equation.... then interlace the footage from 24p to 60i with 2:3 pull down, export to a 30p project.... then deinterlace the 60i to 30p?
