Mixing Frame Rates and Field Motion Types
575
Mixed rate clips also display with their original frame rate appended to the clip name. For
example, if you have a 24 fps clip named
sunset that you edit into a sequence with a frame
rate other than 24 fps, the clip name displays as
sunset (24.00 fps) .
The illustration shows a mixed rate clip in the Timeline.
To further distinguish mixed rate clips from other material in the Timeline, you can display
them in distinct colors. For more information, see “Displaying Clip Colors in the Timeline”
on page 650.
Viewing and Adjusting Motion Adapter Parameters
Use the Motion Effect Editor to view and adjust parameters for a Motion Adapter effect.
To change the appearance of a mixed rate clip, you can select a different rendering option
from the Type list to change the way your Avid editing application interprets and displays
frames.
The other Motion Adapter effect parameters are inactive. You can check the values your
Avid editing application has calculated, but you cannot change them.
If you need to make other adjustments, promote the Motion Adapter effect to a Timewarp
effect. The full set of Timewarp effect parameters become available and you can freely
change or animate the speed at which the clip plays.
The illustration shows the Motion Adapter effect in the Motion Effect Editor, with the Type
list and the Promote button active, and other parameters inactive.
