  24PN…. 24? or 23.976?

  Posted by Benjamin Tubb on February 1, 2007 at 7:59 am

  These are probably stupid questions, but I just don’t know, and I couldn’t find them on a search.

  If I’m shooting 720p24pn, will I set my Premiere Pro settings to 24 FPS, or to 23.976 FPS?

  And while we’re at it, should I go 1280×720, with square pixels? Or should I used “DVCProHD (1.5)” pixel aspect ratio?

  One last thing… If I convert my 24pn files in raylight, will they still be natively 24 fps? I don’t see why they wouldn’t be, I’m just checking.

  Sorry about all the retarded questions, this is my first time working with HD.

  Any help is appreciated.

  Thanks,
  Ben Tubb

  It is most definitely 23.976 (23.98 for short) and not 24.0. I would suggest that you use the native frame size and aspect ratio for DVCPRO HD 960×720, but I’m not sure how your NLE works or what it wants. FCP works with the native frame rate and resolution of DVCPro HD.

  For a screen shot of settings in Premiere see
  https://dvfilm.com/raylight/raylightTutorial2-4.htm
  Raylight defaults to square pixels but 1.333 is the right
  settings for “Native frame Size” see the Raylight Config Panel.

  There’re few advantages in Raylight with using native frame size
  since it handles the stetch internally and does a very good
  job with it. I would stick with the default square pixel format
  especially if you are new to HD editing.
