Often times you need to make your edit in Premiere, Final Cut Pro or Avid and then import in After Effects to finish it or simply to do the final render, using tools such as Automatic Duck to import the project. This Tutorial demonstrates how to quickly setup large edits to do frame rate conversion with Twixtor in After Effects. In particular, we use footage from the Canon 5D Mark II that can only shoot 30 FPS and convert our edit for a 24P delivery, but this method can be applied to any frame rate conversion.
