24p Animation Workflow? Pulldown on export?
I’m creating a short little promo video in AE 6.5. It’s basically still images, 3D camera moving in, around, through, etc…, with background audio.
I’ve read that it’d be easier to work in a ’24p’ environment for speed/efficiency versus a standard 29.97 fps enviroment.
I’m wondering how I should be setting up my project or what my composition settings should be. I’m a little confused over the whole 23.976 vs. 24 thing.
The delivery is mainly web-video (e.g. YouTube), but it will also be shown in a performance hall over a computer projector system. As a back up, i’d also like to make a video-DVD of this (e.g. incase the projector suddenly breaks). I’d be making the DVD in DVD Studio Pro. Do I need to be aware of any specific export settings from After Effects? For DVDSP/Compressor, do I need to be aware of any specific encoding settings?

23.976 is the frame rate for 24p video in ntsc. so that would be the frame rate to work in.
for the web, 24p (23.976) should be fine, and i don’t think you’ll encounter any issues encoding or streaming or anything. search the cow for you tube compression. i think i read they use flash encoding, and there are some ‘native’ you tube settings that you can use to avoid you tube recompressing you files.
for dvd, you should check the dvdsp forum for specifics, but the workflow would be to render 23.976, 720×480 non-interlaced, lossless animation codec. take to compressor to convert to mpeg2, make sure that compressor is set to leave framerate at 23.976 progressive. take that to dvdsp, make sure dvdsp is set to burn a progressive dvd.
