  23.976 vs 24 vs 30

  Posted by Omnidecay on June 10, 2007 at 6:35 am

  I havent come across this problem until now. I shot some footage with a XL2+mini PS attached in 24 16:9. Now when I import the footage at 23.97 there is a delay….humm? Now when I import in 24 there is a delay….hummm? When i import with 30 there is no more delay, however. When I pause the footage from playing the colors change (become more accurate when paused). Can someone explain this?

  Thank You

  The color shift you’re experiencing is most likely due to the overlay settings. You can adjust those in the control panel, under your display settings. You’ll probably notice, if you’re using a client monitor, that the color shift doesn’t happen there.

  As for the delay, you need to set the program to properly remove the pulldown, so under the 24 option, set it to either 2:3:2:3 or 2:3:3:2 depending on which pulldown you were shooting with, and set the A frame to 0:00:00:00 and see if that works.
