I'm shooting a music video. I read a bunch of stuff on the net, but couldn't quite figure this out. I wanted to slow the video down while keeping the music at its original speed and the lips in sync with the lyrics. I sped up the music track 25% when shooting, and shot in 30p with a shutter of 1/90 on a Canon XHA1. Now I'm in Premiere trying to figure out what to do. I tried slowing down the video/audio to 75%, but it doesn't sync with the music track. This doesn't make sense to me. If I sped up the audio 25% then when I capture into Pr it sees it as 100% and I would think I'd have to bring it down to 75% to get it to match the original music. Is my math wrong?
I read that I should speed up the track 25% when shooting in 30p and delivering the final in 24p. Does this mean I'm not supposed to mess with the speed of the track at all, just convert the frame rate? I would think doing that just pulls some of the frames out, but doesn't affect the speed. If that is what I'm supposed to do how do I convert my 30p footage into 24p footage in Pr? Or should I change the speed of the track AND convert the frame rate to get it to sync?
Lastly, what is the difference between changing the speed/pitch of the track and time remapping?
Thanks!!
