  • 23.98 vs. 24 fps – the final mix

    Posted by Graham Fisher on October 28, 2009 at 7:27 pm

    A client just had a final sound mix finished out. They placed the assets on their Final Cut timeline, and it drifts out of sync within five mins.

    Apparently they selected 24fps in the mix, while the project is actually 23.98. Somehow no problems showed up when they put the 23.98 photo jpeg reels into their 24fps ProTools project.

    I’m inclined to have them re-output the mix at 23.98. But am I missing something?

    Thank you,
    Graham

    Try this first.

    Delete the audio out of your project.

    Then in FCP, choose the appropriate 23.98 easy setup.

    Quit FCP.

    Reopen the current project.

    Import the audio again.

    Relay in to the sequence.

    In Sync?

    You are a genius. It worked.

    And, actually, I was initially misinformed: the sound mix was done at 29.97.

    Thanks for saving me lots more trouble shooting.

    You should have just given them the 23.98 movie. It’s still 24 tc.

    How did you make the 24 movie?

    Did you try the trick outlined earlier in this thread?
