Hi, my client is trying to send me EDLs for reconform but premiere will only export at 24 fps and there’s no obvious setting to adjust. Anyone come across this before? The project is in 25 fps…
(the result is a LOt of red dots and no reconform generated…)
Nonsense.
Must be that the premiere project is set to 24fps.
Try switching your project to 24fps too. See what gives.
That being said, I am getting sick and tired of this kinda shi%.
It is not up to the audio guys to show the video guys how to handle their shi%.
Fredo
Thanks,
Lol, I know, still a lot of indie one-man-band productions out there…
Ok I think the problem lies deeper, but given the editor is not very technical we just have to work around it for now, don’t think we’ll find the reason.
Changing my project frame rate didn’t do anything.
As there are events that have frames that end with 34 it clearly isnt a normally created EDL.
Unless its all shot at 60fps, but it sure looks weird to me. And I am not sure If high frame rates above 30fps are supported at all using reconform.
I have certainly never tested it as high frame rates are not part of regular approved delivery materials to any distribution I know of.
Hi Erik,
As far as I know all material and the final product are 25 fps so not sure what’s happened here.
I’ve sent my stems for the original edit over to the editor and will get an AAF with the new edit using my stems back and remix that, a bit clunky but we’ll get a finished product.
Client: Hi, I want to make a 5.1 mix of the film we did 6 months ago, is that possible?
Me: Sure.
2 days into the mix:
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, I’ve recut the whole film…
Well that’s the life in postproduction I guess.
As long as they are paying for your time.
If the job is big enough it could be worth it for you to buy matchbox from cargo cult.
With it you can compare basically anything, EDLs , AAFs, audio and video files to create a change list and then control the reconform in Nuendo.
It’s not cheap but might save time and improve quality enough to make sense to purchase.
Oh nice, thanks.
It’s definitely not big enough this time but I’ll check it out for the future.
Well they did have a trial version. 
114% damage, how does that compare?
Looks like it managed to get it maybe 80% correct with the Nuendo extension but still some strange stuff going on…
Vfx and re-used media (flashbacks/stock shots etc) can often be problematic when doing a compare.
Matchbox is super competent but can indeed give false positives that’s where using several types of media to do the compare helps.
