[Avid-L2] Re: 2997 to 2398

I decided to play with this with an SD 30 show I offlined. I first started in the 30I project and modified the seq to 23.98 which created a few mixdowns for matte keys. I then made a 23.98 project and started a new sequence and cut the modified sequence into it. I then transcoded the sequence to 23.98. There is a warning "Transcode creates new clips that match the current project rate. Because the new edit does not match the original clip, you cannot batch capture, batch import, relink or link (via AMA) to these new clips." I then decomposed the sequence and ended up with offline clips that say they are format 23.98 but the timecode in the start column is still 30frame. I can duplicate that into a TC 24 column but I'm not sure what time code would be used in a batch capture. I don't have a deck to try and load one of the clips into the capture tool to see if it will get the 24 or 30 code for batch capture. It seems like there is still a need to somehow get the 24 frame code into the Start column so you could capture from the original 23.98 master tapes. My understanding is in a traditional 23.98 NTSC offline to HD online the process of modifying the offline sequence to HD 23.98 automatically changes the source codes to 24frame code not the 30 frame captured in offline. Perhaps Mr. Philips could shed some light on this.
