    Hi, we are switching to HD at my office and I was told we needed to be working at 23.98 fps. However, since making the change, new comps I am creating are having problems with time remapping. For example, if I type in 00:02, the program will just put 00:01. Or, if I am on frame 00:08 and I want to go to 00:09, I just can’t get it to do it. It’s totally odd. Both comps have the same frame rate, so I don’t think that is the problem. Has anyone else experienced this? Any thoughts or suggestions? I am guessing it’s some sort of weird math issue.

    Sorry, I should have been more specific. I’m not using video. I am doing animation, using just photoshop backgrounds and illustrator characters. But, this new show has to be in HD, and I was told that I should just do everything at 23.98 fps. I don’t know what the specific reason is. Should I really be doing it at 23.976 fps? Is that where my problem is?

    Thanks a lot. I have changed my comps to 23.976 and things seem to have worked themselves out! Thanks for your help. All this NTSC fps stuff makes my brain hurt.
