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

I thought for AMA off-speed clips this worked:

SetAMAQTForcedFrameRate true 23.976

Type that into the console before linking and the incoming AMA clip will link in at the rate specified. Then when you want to put it back, type

SetAMAQTForcedFrameRate false 0

and it's back to normal. I think Job ter Burg posted that a while back. I always use Cinema Tools to conform, so I never tried it, but it's probably worth a try.

Last month, on my first Media Composer edit session in 7 years, with the director sitting next to me, picking takes (all shot on 5D), he says, "These scenes were overcranked. I need to see them as slo-mo." Uh oh.

The assistant had flagged these scenes as off-speed (59.97) and left them AMA rather than transcoding. Not sure what to do, I threw them in a 23.98 timeline, applied a Timewarp effect to slow them down to the intended speed, then dragged out the tails so we could view the full clips.

I assumed I was being stupid and ignorant for not knowing the easy workflow in Media Composer. Good to know there is no easy workflow. Avid: Really?
