I know from previous threads the most accurate cadence method is to make a video mixdown in the 23.976 project then bring that into a 59.94I 1080 project but in practice I'm finding this more tedious than I had expected. The video mixdown in the 23.976 project is no problem. I cut out all the video but the mixdown and modify that sequence to 59.94 while still in the 23.976 project. Everything is fine. I then open the 59.94 project and open the modified sequence. The sequence has audio that was an aaf import from protools in the 23.976 project. I have audio on channels 1,2,4&5 so I have to export a QT ref to keep the multichannel audio. Now avid says it has to mixdown the audio but it won't do the export in direct audio out. Also to do the QT ref avid now has to render the video mixdown with the 2:3 motion adapter. If I was going to tape this would not be an issue but it's a rerender pain. Am I missing something here. At first I thought to reimport the audio aaf into the 59.94 project but that errors saying the clips have already been imported and there is a conflict. So I then just tried to do audio mixdowns of the 4 channels of active audio so they wouldn't have and 23.976 frame rate flags. Still avid wants to mixdown the audio. Now I'm doing a new video mixdown in the 59.94 so the timeline will only be video and audio mixdowns that have all been created in a 59.94 project. I'm hoping this will QT ref export properly.
Bottom line is there a file based solution that I could just export a QT ref out of the original 23.976 project and open that is something like Sorenson and have it export a new self contained QT at the 59.94 frame rate with pulldown added and the multi channels of audio? I usually work in a more native 59.94 timeline and do QT ref exports all the time with multichannels that I can then use QT Pro to save as or in some cases export to ProResHQ. This mixed frame rate conundrum is making that workflow very problematic and difficult. If I had an SR deck I'd just use universal mastering and recapture but I don't have that deck right now.
