Convert 23.976fps to 24fps

[Tom Lewis]

Does anyone know if an R3D 23.976fps edited project done in Pr Pro can be converted to 24fps in AE? (ie I want to maintain 16bit while outputting as a TIFF sequence).

As far as the image is concerned - 23.976 and 24 is the same thing. The fractional speed has only implication on the timecode for syncing with audio...

I don't know much about PP, but if FCP, I'd dub the timeline (sequence) and "cut" (cmd + X or ctrl + X) all the clips including audio from the timeline, change the timeline setting to 24fps, paste all the clips including audio, and adjust your cuts accordingly if there's slight slip of pictures or audio sync. The longer your timeline is, the more of audio sync issue you may have.

I m amaized the industry still supports 23.97.

Final Cut 7 came with Cinema Tools which lets you conform a quicklime clip to another frame rate. So when you conform from 23.98 to 24 the clip will play 0.1% faster.

ATSC supports 24 Hz, but no one has opted for it since they want downconversion compatibility for standard definition.

It's still very necessary for American television and Blu-ray.

Varispeeding digital files from 23.976 to 24.00 is trivial and fast. There are more considerations for audio post than anything else, but there's a solid workflow there as well.

As far as I know, DCPs are just 24fps and never 23.976. Haven't done a 25fps DCP.
