Comps from After Effects being recognized as wrong frame rate?
Recently, when reimporting composited footage into FCP that came from After Effects, my 23.98 footage has been coming in as 30. Its really odd, because the comp in AE is set to 23.98, the original source footage is 23.98, even opened in quicktime the same footage shows up as 23.98. However, final cut sees it as 30.
I am on snow leopard running, 7.03, 12 core mac pro(but problem existed on my old 8 core recently as well), AJA Kona 3 card. Any ideas?

There have been many posts here pointing out that AE needs to be set to export 23.976. FCP calls it 23.98 but it is actually 23.976 and AE must be set to this exact value.

Michael,
Thanks for the reply, but AE is set to 29.976, so that isn’t the problem either.

You might want to check this then as it may be the culprit if the frame rates are being mislabeled. Not so much the XML fix but later in the article the way to make sure all settings are correct before files are imported.

I presume that is a typo and it is 23.976

Sorry, yes that was a typo.

Michael,
My sequence setting and default sequence setting is set to 1080psf 23.98, so that isn’t the problem either.

Used to see an audio problem where imported files would convert to the frame rate your current open sequence was set to (or default sequence set up, can’t remember it was a while back we came across this)
Create a sequence set to your desired import rate and try the import again.
Cheers

Nope, the sequence and default sequence are both set to 29.98, so that’s not the issue either.
-
Sorry, 23.98, don’t know why I keep typing that.

No, as I said, the file is rendered at 23.98, even quicktime shows it that way in the info. Only FCP sees it wrong.
