Hey folks. I'm assuming this has happened to a lot of folks but couldn't find much info on it online or in the forums. I shoot on a GH4 and GH3 and a few GH2's when necessary.
Anyway, the GH4 shoots actual 24P it looks like instead of 23.98. So I'm running into this scenario. So If I say am filming a conference talk with 3 camera setup, I have
Cam A: GH4 @24FPS,
Cam B: GH3 @ 23.98
Cam C: GH3 @ 23.98
So when I drop these in a timeline to edit them together, snyc them with my audio recorded to a separate device, etc. I'm getting a snyc issue. I'm assuming this is based on the project settings. Meaning if it's a 24P timeline (I drop in the GH4 footage first) then the two GH3's don't match up to it and the synced audio. Conversely If the timeline is 23.98 because I drop the GH3 in first, then then the audio is snyced with it and not the GH4's 24P.
That's a long description for the question how do I get these camera's to play nice together and not lose snyc? I'm assuming it's a matter of conforming it and either adding the two frames to 23.98 or subtracting those two frames from 24, but since Cinema Tools is gone it looks like my only option is called "AUTOMATIC SPEED" now? If you got to adjust that it asks in percentages to confirm, and not in framerates. Since I've never seen that I'm confused. That's usual for dramatic speed changes to me. Not sure I'min the right direction?
How are folks conforming footage in FCPX from 23.98 to 24 or vice versa?
