29.97 to 24 fps
hey,
I’ve got a 22 minute broadcast cartoon that was animated at 30 fps in flash. Output to 29.97 fps quicktimes, then put into Final Cut Pro. We have the whole thing edited at 29.97.
Now they want to transfer it to 24 fps. Going from 29.97 to 24 we will loose 5 minutes from the show.
I was going to do the 24 transfer in After Effects. Any problems with this? Has anyone done this successfully before?Thanks

thanks for the quick response.
Thankfully I’m just doing a storyboard, and not a final animation. so I don’t have to worry
too much about the action.
I have the audio on separate tracks in Final Cut.
When I change the frame rate in After Effects, will the audio change with the picture?
Or will I have to realign the audio in Final Cut?Here’s my plan.
I’m going to cut the 29.97 fps, 22 minute long sequence into small chunks.
bring the small chunks into After effects,
interpret footage to 24 frames
render those out
put those into a 24 fps final cut sequence.
realign the audio in FCP.
export as one whole file.sound ok?
thanks again

unless you want to slow your footage down, you won’t need to change the frame rate in interpret footage, just drag the footage on to the make comp icon, the change the comp to the 23.976 fps. this will then skip every 5th frame for the render. in not sure you will need to split the 22min clip up if you don’t want to.
as far as audio, i think you will be best to lay it back over in fcp.
