Re: [Avid-L2] OT - QC monkeys attacks again. Help!!!

Apart from the obvious cadance breaks you're introducing, wouldn't it had been more easier to create an EDL, and let some simple math find the trouble spots so you could shift the edits a frame there?

We conform 23.976 - but have had clients insist that for their 1080i 59.94 delivery that they will not accept any 'mess frames' where 2 shots share the same frame.

We essentially had to re-conform and apply 3:2 pulldown to each shot individually. (after all the graphics are baked in)

Interestingly enough, this was also related to international re-distribution.

Make sure to charge extra for it. It's certainly not a standard request.

We just had a broadcaster instruct the online editor that all frame rate conversions must be done using "duplicated fields" - no interpolated frames or 2:3 pulldown for the international deliverables. Keep in mind, the series was primarily shot 23.976p, edit in 23.976p and will be delivered in 1080i/59.94. Now every non 29.97 footage has a stutter in it because all motion effect is set to duplicated frames.

Go figure.

First off, the QC guy is an idiot. Has he ever sen film transferred to video?

That said, if you wanted to not have blended fields at cuts (which I believe statistically would be 20 percent of them), you could take the 23.98 sequence to a 30 frame project. Avid would 3:2 to each shot independent of all other shots. probably a lot of rendering involved, and it would be improper for a 3:2 sequence, but it sounds like it would pass this moron.
