  • film scoring in 24 on a 23.98 omf

    Posted by Seth Peterson on May 13, 2009 at 5:49 pm

    I am lucky to be using Cubase which only lets 24 fps. I’m writing a few musical pieces for a Doc shot in 23.98 HD.

    Because its not Dialogue, do you think that it will be okay that I continue working on it in 24 fps in Cubase? The Reels are all about 22min. I can’t seem to get a solid answer from the cubase forum and I don’t have the FCP file to import back into to give it a try.

    Thanks

    Note John’s VERY IMPORTANT REMARK.
    23.98 DOES NOT EXISTS, it’s 23.976
    (and even that is not accurate enough, but for now, it does the trick)

    So you can do the math on how far you’ll be off.
    (if it’s indeed 24, it could also mean 23.976)

    Test, test, test, and see what happens.

    And John, if you think you should put your photo online, please put in your glass eye.

    True 24 won’t sync to 23.98 (23.976). If your music has hits synced to picture you’ll lose sync as you move into the show.

    Can’t say it’s the same for scoring:

    but back in the day when we had a 23.98 master, the mix house only could work in 24fps. BUT if we gave them a digibeta downconvert at 29.97, they could mix at 29.97 and the resulting AIFF’s sync perfectly back in FCP

    And hide my sunny disposition?
