    We are about to shoot a short film in 35mm.

    Plan is shoot 35mm, transfer to DVCAM for dailies, picture lock. Final will be a retransfer of the film to HDCAM 1080/24p. NTSC here BTW.

    Planning to edit in 23.976p project.
    Audio will be from Cantar. I adviced them to record at 24bit/48048.

    Or should I go with 48 flat for audio and do the audio pulldown myself in Avid?

    Or should I go with a 24p project type and do 24/48?

    TIA

    If you want a 1080p/23.976 master, I would suggest you work in a 23.976 project type and record audio at 48.048kHz. When importing those files into that project type, they will automatically be slowed down to 48kHz (.1%) to be in sync with film shot at 24fps and transferred at 23.976. Or if they sync in telecine, it is easy to reference and slow down .1% without doing a sample rate conversion in the process.

    See article I wrote for MPEG at:

    Thanks Michael. I have that article saved in my drive actually!

    Your reassurance is good – so it will be 24 bit/ 48.048 audio while working in 23.976p project type in Avid.

    Thanks a mil!
