Redrushes frame rate problem

[Danielle]

We just filmed on the Red One @24fps and brought the RDM folder into Redrushes to transcode into apple pro-res quicktime movies.
Once transcoded the quicktimes were in 29.97 fps and in a FCP timeline where the editing timebase is 24 fps, the clips were all sped up.
How could this have occured?
Is there some frame rate default I dont know about?
How do we make these R3D's into 24 fps?
Thanks

I'd recommend checking the metadata on the clips to see if they were really shot at 24fps.

In red rushes, you can output a csv with the metadata.

Sounds like you may have had the project frame rate set to 29.97fps, and shot at 24fps by vari-speeding. This would give the result you are seeing.

You can't make the R3Ds into 24fps R3Ds.

You could use Cinema Tools to conform the frame rate of the transcoded QuickTimes to 24fps, but this is not ideal, as it could cause issues with match back if you need to re-conform at a later date.
