Re: [Avid-L2] Re: mixing fps

Actually, as of version 8.3, AVID now allows you to choose the frame rate to be either the clip's native rate or the projects native rate. It's piled in with the other "source settings" on AMA linked clips. It even adjust's the audio as well. There is a new tab in "Source Settings" called "Playback Rates". (which is awesome, no more "ignoreQTrate" in console, and stripping audo to handle separately).

While AVID does "bake in" that frame rate if you transcode it, you can either transcode to an online quality res for these clips, or if your CPU and disks are fast enough, just use it AMA linked in your sequence, and render the motion adapters in a timeline. You then have the option of switching between the two frame rates in the source settings of the clip or editing the motion adapter (by upgrading it to a timewarp in the Motion Effect editor).

Be forewarned, if you bake in the frame rate with a transcode, this will prevent you from automated re-linking of the footage when moving to online.

Depends if you groups. Whichever framerate has groups, you'll have to edit in that framerate as you can't open groups of a different format. You'll want to finish in 60i as 60i to 24p is not ideal (because of motion artifacts) whereas 24p to 60i is perfectly fine.

Number of ways to do it. Assuming the 60i is QT you could import it with "ignoreqtrate" set in the console. It will all be imported slowed to 24.

Or Import , capture into a 60i project, then open those source bins in a 24 P project. Or AMA mount in the 24P project. Either way, Avid will add the motion effect anytime you sit the material in the timeline and you can change the rate in the motion effect editor to 100%. That's a bigger PITA as you have to do that to every clip.

Whatever you do, DON'T AMA into the 24P and then transcode as Avid will bake in the motion effect (it will warn you) and then you are screwed for trying to slo-mo it.
