But the question was about converting 18 fps material to 24 fps -- so
one will just have to either run the printer manually or set the
sequencer or computer to double every third frame.
Doubling every second frame will yield, as you suggest, 27 fps
material -- a big difference from 24 fps.
I have in the past done 18 to 24 fps conversions of S8 sound
material, and it worked very nicely.
It was so long ago I think Jon Rubin did the blowup. Hello, Jon, if
you're out there...
