Hello all,

My client is asking me to perform a process which I'll call a "1080 Vari-cam".

Our final product will be a 1080 Psf 23.98 master.

They shot some scenes at 59.94i with the intention of using them "field for frame" to create an acceptable fixed rate slo-mo.

My workflow has been to capture the footage from 59.94 HDCam into a 59.94 project, deinterlace the clip in a timeline (to print field for frame), export the timeline as a .gen file and import into a 23.98 project.  Then, output to 23.98 HDCam tape for downconversion into the offline.

I'm working on ver. 7.6 QFE 2.

Any tricks or easier workflow ideas out there?  I'm not really clear on how 7.6 handles frame rate conversions and mixing and matching framerates on the same timeline.

Thanx,
Thom
