Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Motion Effects Editor and 5D slo mo question

Problem with number 2 is that there's no Avid project with a 48 fps framerate.

If you don't care about audio (as is often the case with slomo footage), you can use something like Cinema Tools to restamp the 5D .mov files as 23.98 (or whatever your native project rate is), then AMA the resulting file and transcode normally. You might have to strip off any audio tracks before you can conform to a different frame-rate in Cinema Tools, though.

When you transcode off frame rate AMA footage Avid warns you that it will change the frame rate to the project rate. And it does. That is now baked in.

There's two ways around it I know of.

1; If the AMA mounted file is an Avid supported codec, consolidate to your drive and it doesn't get converted.

if not

2: CReate an Avid project at the source clip frame rate. AMA mount and transcode the clips. Open that bin in your original program. You now have an Avid clip that is the original frame rate with a motion effect applied when you cut the clip in the timeline. That motion effect can be promoted and adjusted.
