Re: Marco Solorio workflow question

Kevin,

Thank you so much for taking the time to write that up. I'll try your last method and get back to you.

I actually gave Marco Solorio workflow a go, what I did was the following.

1: Conformed a 30P clip to 25P using Cinema Tools.
2: Then created a 30P comp dropped the 25P clip in it and added time stretch of 200% & set frame blending mode to pixel motion.
3: I then imported the 50P clip in AF and set the frame rate to 25
4: Created a PAL 16x9 DV comp and dropped in the 50P clip.
5: Rendered back out to 16:9 PAL DV and that was it.

This 1x 30sec clip took approximately 3 hours from start to finish, way to long.... Also when I played the clip back on my plasma tv, it had a very slight blur on horizontal pans.

I've been testing this as I'm looking into buying a Canon 5D Mark II for my corporate production. Even though I'd be shooting in HD, I need to get the productions back onto a PAL 16:9 DVD. The 30P from the 5D Mark II is proving to be more of a headache then a plus.

I think I should just get a 7D that shoots 25P native. This way I can transfer the 25P to a 16:9 25P, PAL DVD and eliminate this process.

Any other suggestions..?
