Hello!
I'm sorting footage from a recent shoot which is to be edited in PAL and I just discovered that the drone guy we hired didn't set his camera for PAL (so 23.97 at 4K). I'm delivering 4K mainly for web use. Is this really an issue? What are the best options for making the footage work? Optical Flow for retiming has turned up on a perfunctory web search, but not much else that is current.
Thanks!
 
For drone footage I'd speed up the footage so that it playsback at 25fps. You are very unlikely to notice the 4.001 percent speed up and you won't have any frame doube ups or smeary interpolated frames to deal with.
 
So, i wouldn't speed it up, but interpret the clip as 25P in the bin. Other options include just popping it onto your 25P sequence as is, then selecting frame blending when exporting from AME. Lastly, you can transcode it to 25P then edit with it like that, but i'd avoid that.
