Shot slow-mo at wrong timebase

[Rob LaRose]

Good afternoon, my RED-loving friends!

We have a series of overcranked shots (120fps) that were mistakenly recorded with a 24fps timecode base. They were supposed to have been 29.97, as they're going into a 29.97 edit.

Is there a way to re-write the timecode on the raw RED source files in base-30? If not, what's the simplest way to deal with this? I think CinemaTools can be used to "conform" the offline (pro-res) quicktime transcodes, but then how would we match back to the original 24fps timecode on the raw files when it's time to online?

Thanks in advance for any ideas -- as you might expect, I'm under a deadline. :-/

If you have after effects, you can simply interpret footage to 29.97 and export out your clip from there.

I did once (a year ago) use cinematools on the QT proxies for a full project...

For that project, that worked fine, and I re-linked with Clipfinder.

Worked well, too.

This advice comes withuat any guarantees, though...

Do a quick test.
