Created a 24p project in AE, need to export for broadcast – Now what do I do?
Hello,
So I’m working on a 30-second spot that will be broadcast on television. I shot my footage in 24p and created an AE project with a 23.976 framerate. To get it to the post house to transfer and dub, I’ll need an uncompressed AVI or QT file. I am not sure what the proper framerate should be, and whether I should change it in my Comp Settings, Render Settings, or Output Module.
Do I need to get the framerate to 29.97? Can I keep it at 23.976? Did I completely screw myself by doing things this way?
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

My gut says 29.97: render the 23.976 comp with pulldown (any cadence).
In general, you should ask these questions of the post house or the broadcaster — don’t trust us. Who knows? Maybe they have a spiffy new way of adding pulldown in the transfer.

I work at a post house in Washington DC, we deal with these type of “outputs” all the time. Most of the outputs are done through our Final Cut system through a Kona 2 card. If you were to send a 23.98 QT, we would simply make a 23.98 sequence and let the Kona handle the pulldown and I would imagine any post house in your area would most likely handle the output the same way.

Matt, that’s fantastic information. Thank you very much.

In general if you shot it in 24p you also could have shot in 30p, if the footage is for television I would shoot in that format from the get-go going forward..
