  Timeline, 30 frames…?

  Posted by Vegard Sorby on February 20, 2006 at 3:35 am

  Hi, I’ve always wondered about this, but for some reason never asked..

  On the timeline, 1 sec is divided into 30 units, even though I’m in a 25fps PAL project, how come? Is there a way to change it to 25?

  Cheers!

  Nope, even though the frame rate is set on 25fps, the timeline is divided into 30 units per second..

  I had the same problem. Its extremely weird, I agree, and it’s not that intuitively accesible.

  The solution in AE 6.5: File/Project Settings…/Timecode base – 25 fps.

  Thanks a lot!
  Such a small thing, but it will make my life a lot easier 😀
