So essentially there can't be any timecode discrepancies, every frame needs to have a unqiue timecode.įeel free to suggest any solution, even ones which may incur software/app costs because it is an essential part of the workflow so work will invest in getting this right and making it seamless.Īvid version we are currently running is 8.9.4 - however again, we can update if needed.
So I want to find an alternative solution to converting mixed frame rate footage to 25fps, which most importantly will conform later down the line using an EDL and AAF at a different post house that are conforming to do the grade/VFX or online. It only works with the Final Cut package installed, which if we were to replace the machine we would lose it. Both Cinema Tools and MPEG Streamclip are outdated and discountinued to some extent 2. However, my issue with this is that because we have officially stopped running Final Cut (every editor now uses Avid) we only have Cinema Tools on one old Final Cut partition on one computer, additionally I think I'm right in saying 1. This is the way they were doing it when I started here and its just been continued. So essentially we are creating new masters which we copy onto the drive which gets delivered to the post house for grading/online. Our current workflow is to batch convert these in MPEG Streamclip to Pro Res 442 HQ/4444 (if they aren't already) and then run these through cinema tools conforming to 25fps. Being based in the UK 90% of projects are 25fps, so the mixed footage we receieve is in 24fps, 23.976fps, 30fps e.t.c. Often for the poorly produced promos and the occasional stock footage related work we receieve footage in varying frame rates. So I work in a commercial offline editing house where we do promos/commercials e.t.c. Sorry, another annoying frame rate discussion.
