Re: [Avid-L2] 23.976fps to 25fps

Quite easy to do picture: speed it up. Get a playout (or mixdown) of the original 23.976p, link it in a 25p project, go into Source Settings and set the playback rate to Project (25fps). This will force a frame-by-frame playback of the source file, which is what you want.

Sound is a different beast. If you do nothing, everything will be pitched up. Which may or may not be acceptable. If the pitch-change is not acceptable, a pitch correction is required. Ideally, let the sound house handle such a pitch correction. Alternatively, ask for stems, so you can treat dialog, music and sfx separately (this is how all sound houses I know do this). The thing is, pitch shifting plugins have optimized algorithms for different types of sound, and if you're not careful, everything will sound quite terrible. Also, there are very few plugins out there that do a good job at it. The only one I ever use is Pitch'n'Time Pro (you need to the Pro version if you want to process 5.1 tracks, I think).

I have heard people having succes doing pitch conversions using Reaper, but I haven't tried this myself.
