Correct project settings for 16mm scans?
Hi,
I’m working with 16mm source scanned as a tiff image sequence for the first time and wondering how I should set up my project. A bit confused about the frame rate amoung other things.
Should my project frame rate be 24fps given film is 24fps?
But then if I’m finishing on video don’t I need to encode it at 25fps? (PAL region)
By the way I’m working with an old CS6 version on a Mac.
If anyone could set me straight on this that would be great.

you’d have to determine what the native film frame-rate was, since you’ll be choosing between odd looking speed changes or optical interpolation.

The film was all shot at 24fps

It was shot at 24fps, but was the image sequence shot 1 to 1 with any pull down, etc.?
It’s never as easy as you think, “most of the time.”
I’m going into a no cell zone, so y’all are on your own to sort out this mini-mystery.

Ok…..It was scanned 1 to 1….no pull down.

where’s it going to? DVD? PAL can playback NTSC 23.976 stuff, web, doesn’t matter.
