Thanks for that. I shot an event with a Canon 500D (only records 30fps) and needed to produce a Pal DVD at 25 fps. Thanks heaps for showing me the way.

Is it me, or is anyone else not able to download the preset. The web server could be down, but I tried for the past two days and still haven't been able to download it.

Haven't really looked into this one yet, but for everyone who's looking for the preset on his website, just go to ''AE-Presets''.
And way to go AK! Love your tutorials!

Just wanted to state that DV footage is always lower field first. So unlike what Andrew mentions in the first section about PAL "probably beging upper field first", DV PAL is lower field first. (analog PAL was upper field first, which makes it all a bit confising)

Thanks!

Hey, this is a great preset, it's definitely going to save time and money and works well too.
I saw above 2 issues mentioned, one about both frame rate sliders changing at the same time, it is probably because those two properties are both selected within the effects control window, deselect and reselect the one you want to use.
The second problem was about funky looking footage, this is probably with footage featuring fast movement / rapidly changing composition or a video file with dissolves in from one shot to another, and you are probably using the 'pixel motion' method of frame blending, change to the 'whole frames' method.
Now I have a question, I have a video track and an audio track i want to change but i can't seem to do the audio, any suggestions? can i do this with the preset?

WOW thankyou soo much andrew 
, but i just have a lil' problem, my footage, previously NTSC 30fps, converted to 24p looks funky, and weird things appear on the footage. Is this because i am using CS3 or do you know another reason why?
Thanks a tun andrew

Anyone got a preset that works with English CS3? I can't get this to work with CS3-I have the same issue as explained above where when I try to change the frame rate it changes both fields.

Andrew mentioned something called "twixter" to create the preset from scratch in pre-7 versions. What is that, and how can I get it??
Thanks!
Thanks!

Andrew I wonted to ask if you could do a Tutorial on that Creepy (The Ring) shutter walk FX, or commonly used FX,s in Horror films. Add that to one of your dvd lineup.

I am not really sure how to use this preset file within AE. But, I can tell you I have used every program that will convert 60i to 24p. The vid cap at the top pretty much says it all. Just conform your footage to 23.976...DONE. It'll spit out a 24p file with footage slowed down like film. I like to throw Twixtor on top and use the speed control to slow it down a little more. AE built in speed control sucks. Not fluid at all.

Hi Andrew, thank you for providing us so many great presents and tutorials, it really helps me a lot. After reviewed the Frame Rate Converter tutorial, I wonder if a video which comes with a sound, would it be a problem after converting the frame rate? Do you mind showing us how to fix it. Again Thank you very much, please keep showing us more about After Effect.

Looks like it is the same preset from earlier. AK just probably put it up here as it fits this content area.
Now that I have my Canon HV20, I am going to check this sucker out. Will come in handy I presume. Thnx Andrew.

This is an awesome idea, but i'm just wondering, if I wanted to convert 25p footage to 24p (I realize theres very little difference but it is better in my opinion at 24fps) how would I go about it using the preset?
Cheers, Luke
