24p in AE

[Kevin Camp]

exporting it as lossless animation won’t make your footage look worse, there is most likely something else wrong with your export settings…

can you be more specific about what looks horrible? if it is a color shift between fcp and ae (cs3), search the ae forum for ‘color shift’, ‘cs3’ and ‘fcp’ for an explanation and workflow/settings recommendation.

[Dave LaRonde] “If someone showed you a 24p clip and a 30p clip, you would be VERY hard-pressed to identify the proper frame rate of each.”

and if they were viewing it on an interlaced tv, they would probably say the 30p looked better…

Hi

Sorry to piggyback on this thread but it is very pertinent to my work at the moment.

I have been asked to pitch some movie titles and the footage that I will be given is 35mm 24fps. I have zero experience with film and all the talk of unusual frame-rates, pull-downs, cineon/log-lin (I understand that a bit) is spinning my head and seems like a deep dark tangled forest.

Can anyone recommend a good primer?

Hi Dave

Thanks for replying and I’m sorry if I was being a bit obscure!

By ‘pitching’ I simply meant that I have been asked to suggest a design direction for some movie titles but without any obligation from the producers to accept them if they don’t like the ideas. I don’t usually do this but it’s too good an opportunity to pass up.

Anyway, you make it sound easy! Which of the AE presets do I use (2K, 4K, Cineon)? How do I ask for the footage? And what is the standard way of giving the finished titles back to the production? As far as I know the film is primarily for theatrical distribution and then a showing on UK television.

Cheers
