Audio doesnt sync after converting footage to 24p via MB at DVinfo.net

Max Sitnikov · February 16th, 2005, 02:18 PM

Am I doing something wrong or is it how its suppose to be? I use it for After Effects 6.0. The way I convert it is, first I interpret footage and turn off fields, then create a new composition. The composition I change to 23.976 fps. I then put in my footage and apply magic bullet. Then I add it to Render Queue, in it I select lower field first, and 3:2 Pulldown WWSSW. Anyway on top of that my footage doesnt come out deinterlaced and audio is not in sync. However if I do not turn field render w/ 3:2 pulldown, the footage does come out deinterlaced though audio still doesnt sync.

Any help is appreciated!

I'm not sure whether AE can work with the 24p 3:2 pulldowned
DV footage. You may need to export it from an NLE as true 23.976
fps (insteaf of 24p DV with 3:2 pulldown!) in another format like
uncompressed AVI. Otherwise I'd have to say you will probably
need to instruct AE that this footage needs a pulldown or import
it as 29.97 (what it really is underwater)
