Is there a way to link to AMA media but have it play at the framerate of the project rather than the framerate of the clip? In other words, if I have a 23.98 fps project and a 29.97 fps clip, I'd like to AMA link to that clip and have it play at the slightly slower framerate of the project. Note that I'm NOT talking about a framerate conversion -- I do not want the create a 23.98 fps clip from the 29.97 fps clip. I want all of the clip's frames to play -- I just want the sequence of frames in the clip to play at the slower project framerate.
Again, this will mean that the clip is not playing at the original speed. One second of the clip will take approximately 1.25 seconds to play in the project.
I know that there are ways to re-encode the clip to slow it down and then change the framerate, but the math doesn't necessarily work out precisely depending on the exact framerates of a given clip, and the process can easily lead to artifacts. I just want to tell avid to ignore the clip's framerate and play each frame in sequence at the project framerate.
Sorry if I made a simple question sound more complex, but I feared that without all the detail my question could me misinterpreted.
Thanks,
Larry
