23.98 or 29.97?
I’ve got a situation that I’ve never dealt with. Trying to get my head around it.
I’m getting a dvcam of a couple of reels from a film. It will be at 29.97. It actually was made off a telecine master.
At the same time, I’m getting audio stems from the final mix (aiff files). They will be at 29.97.
All this was done about a year ago and we’re now cutting a trailer.
I figure I have to get the video and the audio in sync in the timeline, lock them and then make the edits. The issue becomes with the outputs.
The video people want me to work at 23.98. After we finish cutting, I provide them an edl with foot and frames, a pull list, and an offline copy. The offline though would be 29.97.
The audio people want an omf from a 29.97 timeline.
I guess my question is if there is an easy solution around these two diff output requests? Should I work in a 29.97 or a 23.98 timeline?
I’ve been told that if I work in the 23.98 timeline, I can still just drop in my audio aiff files and everything should be in sync. I don’t know if that is correct info.
Thanks in advance,
PK

Dave,
Thanks for the great post. Very helpful.
I guess the last confirmation I am looking for (I didn’t want to confuse my earlier post) is that once I get the dvcam, I capture it simply at 29.97 and then do a reverse telecine in Cinema Tools, creating files that will work in a 23.98 timeline. Is that correct? I did that once about 3 years ago so my thought process is very sketchy.
Thanks,
PK
