changing meta frame rate

[Mark Allen]

I had some footage shot a while back on RED at 29.97 - but the metadata was 23.98. When I try to edit it in FCP, it will not let me change the footage to 29.97. I'm just trying to figure out a way to change the metadata without re-rending the whole clip. There are a lot of clips and while redcine can do this in batch mode (thank you!) - it would take longer than would be ideal. Any tips are appreciated.

I'm confused how you go to this point. You say you recorded at 29.97 and the clip ended up at 23.98? I've never ever seen that happen.... please explain exactly what is happening. We'll take it from there.

Yeah 27.98 is just shorthand for 27.976.....

I'm guessing that you shot at 29.97 2k with a project setting of 23.98 fps, so the footage is being treated as if it was 25% overcranked for a 23.98 fps edit, rather than normal speed for a 29.97 fps edit. It that right?

Is it possible to use Cinema Tools to conform Red proxies to a different framerate? Might mess up the timecode though.

This must be 2K windowed, aye?
