Recorded 720/24p onto Citidisk: How to Remove Access Frames in Edius?

[finklefilms]

We are shooting using the HVX200 at 720/24p. The Citidisk records the files at 60fps. How do we remove the access frames in Edius?

You could start the project and pick the prest out of the Generic OHCI HD 24Hz and try to match the proper format with what you shot. I am not sure it will work but give it a try :)

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it out, however when I load a new project with OHCI HD 24Hz with 960X720 23.98p over 59.94p there seems to be no change. The footage is moving very quickly.

Also when I used procoder the file was all chopping and there were a lot of tracers when the subject moved in the frame.

What can I do to get the footage to run at a normal pace and not look like it is from the 1930's? Thanks.

I got an answer over at dvxuser.com from Thoff saying to right click on the clip then select "properties" and manually change the frame rate to 23.98. Worked like a charm and the video is moving at the correct speed. Only problem now is my audio got cut off.

My bad. The footage is now too slow! Why does the Panasonic record at 60fps onto the Citidisk when it is set for AVI2 and the Canopus codec? Please help. I really need this footage to run at the normal speed!

Have you checked whether it is 29.97 footage?

[finklefilms]

Yeah I tried 29.97, and still it is off. I tried slowing the clip down to 50% and it seemed to match the audio perfectly and there were no tracers when the subjects move. However I have lost a chunk of my audio with each clip. This seems like too simple of a solution slowing the clip down to 50% of the original. Is there something else I should consider? Thanks.

[THoff]

29.97 would be 1/2 of the 720/60p framerate that the material seems to be embedded in. Using Properties -> Video and overriding the framerate should give you the same result as changing the speed of the clip.

Tried 29.97 but it is still a littel slow. Has slight tracers when the acotrs move. When I slow it to 50% there are no tracers and the audio lines up. Trouble is I lost half of my audio. I am thoroughly disapointed with the Citidisk. Now I have switched to MOV and the problem I am facing now is corrupt files. Ugh. Fun fun.
