So I AMA in random frame rates, in the source settings adjusted the playback frame rate to the project 25fps and click apply. I have done some tests last week with mixed framerates and this method described. This is the type of approach I would love to adopt as workflow becomes so much more effecient when keeping everything in Avid.

Lastly, there maybe a very obvious solution like running it through Da Vinci or even EditReady, but I'm not aware so even if this is the case and its blindingly obvious please post!
#EDITREADY SETTINGS TO CONVERT TO MPEG UPDATE#
So essentially there can't be any timecode discrepancies, every frame needs to have a unqiue timecode.įeel free to suggest any solution, even ones which may incur software/app costs because it is an essential part of the workflow so work will invest in getting this right and making it seamless.Īvid version we are currently running is 8.9.4 - however again, we can update if needed. So I want to find an alternative solution to converting mixed frame rate footage to 25fps, which most importantly will conform later down the line using an EDL and AAF at a different post house that are conforming to do the grade/VFX or online. It only works with the Final Cut package installed, which if we were to replace the machine we would lose it. Both Cinema Tools and MPEG Streamclip are outdated and discountinued to some extent 2. However, my issue with this is that because we have officially stopped running Final Cut (every editor now uses Avid) we only have Cinema Tools on one old Final Cut partition on one computer, additionally I think I'm right in saying 1.

This is the way they were doing it when I started here and its just been continued. So essentially we are creating new masters which we copy onto the drive which gets delivered to the post house for grading/online. Our current workflow is to batch convert these in MPEG Streamclip to Pro Res 442 HQ/4444 (if they aren't already) and then run these through cinema tools conforming to 25fps. Being based in the UK 90% of projects are 25fps, so the mixed footage we receieve is in 24fps, 23.976fps, 30fps e.t.c. Often for the poorly produced promos and the occasional stock footage related work we receieve footage in varying frame rates. So I work in a commercial offline editing house where we do promos/commercials e.t.c. (And, as of last week with the release of High Sierra, it's gone).Sorry, another annoying frame rate discussion. Be sure to save the converted file if you want to be able to open and play your video when QuickTime is gone.

If you're running the macOS, it's very easy to tell if your files won't play without the QuickTime system drivers installed: If QuickTime Player X shows "Converting." when you open a movie file, that's QTMovieModernizer (a component of QuickTime) converting your files for you. You can also include any 3rd party QuickTime based CODECs as unsupported as well. Scroll to page 29 to see the CODECs no longer supported.

Moving to AV Kit and AV Foundation - WWDC 2013 - Videos - Apple DeveloperĪnd perhaps read the PDF that went with that presentation here:
#EDITREADY SETTINGS TO CONVERT TO MPEG HOW TO#
I highly recommend anyone using QuickTime who may have not yet worked out how to continue their workflow without QuickTime working at the OS level watch the following video: So, what am I saying here? It's entreily possible that you may need to roll your OS back to a prior version so that you can be working with the full support of QuickTime at the OS level in order to play and/or convert your movie file. The tricky part about the rollout of AV Foundation Frameworks is that the file format is still a QuickTime movie file (.mov).Īdobe announced application level support for some of the QuickTime CODECs (like Animation) back in May. A short list is supported for playback only (Photo-JPEG, MPEG2, DV-NTSC, DVCPro, and a handful of others).

There's a very short list of CODECs that AV Foundation Frameworks fully supports: Apple ProRes, H264 and as of macOS High Sierra H265. Most players (including VLC Player, Handbrake and most any other player application out there) require QuickTime in order to play the wide range of formats and CODECs that were supported by QuickTime.
#EDITREADY SETTINGS TO CONVERT TO MPEG DRIVER#
Apple deprecated QuickTime as a system driver for time based media back in 2013 in favor of AV Foundation Frameworks.
