  • 24 fps to 29.97 fps

    One of our graphics guys created an animation in 3D studio max, and composited it in after effects with an output of 24 fps.

    My producer wants me to include this animation in our company demo reel which is 29.97 fps. I’ve tried just doing a basic conversion render from 24 to 29, but it looks like it has a strobe effect. Also, the ending graphic logo appears to have some major aliasing issues when I bring it into the DV timeline, these issues are not there before I convert the file into a DV format. He and I have tried going through image sequences and quicktime, to rendering out a DV codec file from after effects with the same result.

    Any ideas as a work around for this?

    Thanks so much.

    Unfortunately you will always get a bit of a “strobing” – it’s the nature of converting 24 to 30.

    However, you can try this:

    1- Using After Effects, import the 24 fps footage.

    2- Hit command+f to open the “interpret footage” window. Set “conform to frame rate” to 23.976. Set “Separate Fields” to OFF.

    3- Drag the footage to the “Create Comp” button (it’s next to the trash can at the bottom of the project window).

    4- With the new comp active, hit command+m to send it to the “Render Queue”.

    5- Set the “Render Settings” to “Best Settings”. Set “Field Render” to “Lower Field First”. Set “3:2 Pulldown” to any one you choose.

    6- Set the “Output Module” to render a QuickTime movie using the DV/DVC Pro NTSC codec.

    Hope this works for ya!

    That solved the frame rate issue!
