Changing Frame rate of a Clip
 

Alright, I've got Final cut down pretty good, but one thing is still a mystery.

Can we knock down the frame rate of a clip? I was able to do it with Premiere and Vegas, but I'm stumped on FCP. I tried the strobe filter but the feel is not the same.

Jeff rescue me!

Hi Mark,

Do you have any more detail on what you're trying to accomplish?

HTH,
Clayton

Thanks Clayton,

I just want to knock down to 24 (23.98)

Joes Filters has a frame rate adjuster.Not to mention a lot of other very useful filters.

Speaking of Joes Filters, how would you rate the quality of their filters?

I tend to use Joes Filters on every project. IMO they are excellent.

IF you want to go from 29.97 to 24p, resulting in a 24p timeline you could export to a 24p quicktime, then I have the solution for you. I wrote a pair of Standards Conversion filters for FCP - www.nattress.com - and the Film Converter is expecially designed to go from NTSC to 24p. You can see the results of it on my website where I detailed the use of this technique to produce a web short "Bird Brains: The Nest Generation" - http://www.nattress.com/BirdBrains/birdBrainsWorkflow.htm

If you want to make your 60i look like 24p, but have it reside in a normal NTSC timeline, then look at my Film Effects, as that's what that was desinged for.
