Title: Re: 3:2

Hi Chris,
When you apply the Contract Container, that becomes 24. If you step in, it will be the 30fps material. After you apply the container that becomes your clip. I usually put a cache on the container and set to frames, render. Then do my work on that, render in frames, then expand and render that in fields.

Remember to park on the first “mixed” frame when you apply the contract.
Good luck.
Ryan

So when I add the 3:2 contract effect and it creates the container, inside the container the clip seems to be the length of the master clip.  Do I need to always go chase down where my in/out points of the top clip are?  Or am I doing something wrong?  I'd like to have a short clip in an edit, apply a 3:2 contract and inside the container just see the frames from the clip I'm working on.
