  • 24fps animation to 30fps

    Posted by Dan O’brien on July 29, 2006 at 9:58 pm

    I’m building several graphic animations in AE 6.5 for a tv station. All the footage is generated in AE (no outside video or footage imported). I’m building the animations in 24fps comps, and I was wondering what the best way would be to render out the final comps for video…

    For instance, is there a certain field order I should choose?

    Which pulldown selection works the best?

    I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, but every time I try the pulldown method, the rendered movie looks really bad when imported into avid (all jumpy, jagged, etc).

    Any insight would be greatly appreciated…

    Thanks much…

    Lower field first, the pulldown phase really doesn’t matter.

    The problems you’re seeing in the Avid could be other issues. Make sure the comp you are rendering is 720×486 if you’re doing non-DV, 720×480 if you’re doing DV in your Avid. If you are working in another comp size, like 720×540, nest that 540 comp into the 486 comp and scale it to fit (Command-Option-F on Mac, Control-Alt-F on Windows).

    Still no good. I tried playing the movie just with a quicktime player and it looks bad there as well. Is my process correct (working in 24fps, rendering out at 30fps, lower field, 3:2 pulldown selected)?

    I’m working in 720×540, rendering out in 720×486. I’ve used the anim coded, avid codec, dv codec. It all turns out the same…

    Any other ideas? Thanks in advance for any insight…

    Why do you want to animate in 24 ?

    Is a lot of your source footage from film, or do you like the stuttery motion ?

    I’d just render to 29.97 fps, non-interlaced if you don’t have too much fast-moving type so you can afford it, interlaced if it looks too jittery.
