    Hi
    I’m a little confused and really shouldn’t be.. wondering if anyone can help out.

    We’re working in a 24p Pal film project. Film shot at 24fps, sound captured at 24fps. Telecine transfer at 25fps. Working in an Avid 24p project.. with all my edls and omfs.. who gets what and at what frame rate?
    Do all EDLs get pushed out at 25fps?
    and the audio as well?
    or do i make audio OMFs at 24fps..

    If someone can clarify this for me i’d be most grateful.
    thanks

    Depends on who is asking… EDL’s can be created in both 24 and 25 (and even 30 if needed). The OMF edit rate is 24 – Pro Tools will work at 24. Digital Cuts can be be made at 24+1 pulldown to maintain film duration on PAL video or sped up 4.1% to be 25fps. QuickTime export will be 24fps with no pulldown.

    In most cases you have a choice – depends on where you are in the workflow, who is asking, and what rate they can work at – discuss this with your audio post team and lab and you will be able to deliver whatever they need.
