3rd day of rendering
-
When I change it back to “lower field” I do not get the warning.

at this point, if things look good in preview at 100% (like hard edges don’t look a bit jaggy), i guess leave it set to separate-lower…
if things don’t look as good as you think they should, you could try changing the setting an see how rotobrush renders… it may be fine, but i have no experience with it to draw from….
in the worst case scenario, you’ll be redoing the rotobrush.
for future work, you’ll want to figure out where the interlacing issue for 24p footage is coming from… it’s possible that ae is just misinterpreting the fields setting, which is easy to correct. but if the fields are really in the footage, then there is probably a problem in your workflow in fcp.
it could be a capture problem, an export problem or possible a setup issue in fcp, or any other software that you may have used with the footage.
there can be a lot of pitfalls with 24p footage, and it can require a fairly strict workflow. ideally you’d shoot with a camera that natively records 24p to a file that fcp can import without a 3rd party transcoder. many cameras record 24p at 29.97, which will introduce a pulldown. if that’s the case, you’d like to remove that pulldown at acquisition, so the rest of your workflow in working with the true progressive 23.976 (23.98, fcp) footage.

I hit a snag, changing to lower make the composition viewer happy, but in the layer view another warning to use 47.952. So I’m back to the funny number. Is there a way to change the output fps for projects in the render queue? I’m about to try and render to see how long it takes.

yep… click the render settings (actually, click the underlined word next to the render settings that probably says ‘best’) and you can set the frame rate to render.
alternately, you could just leave them and the odd frame rate, render it and bring that back into ae, drop it into a 23.976 comp and render that… it seems odd to do a two step like that, but since i can’t tell you for sure that rotobrush will render as well if the render settings are set to half the comp’s frame rate, it may be the better option if you need to get this done. if you want to experiment some, you could try it both ways and compare the final results.

Okay, I simply changed the composition to 23.98 after the layer mask was rendered and I should be able to render/export as 23.98.

actually, you’ll want to make those 23.976 fps… despite fcp saying that it is working in in 23.98 fps, it is really 23.976, and if you give it 23.98 fps material, it will cause it to have problems.
