August 28, 2014 at 1:53 pmI hate your funny frame rates 🙂 Create so many problems for what benefit?

I completely agree, but it’s a legacy issue that we are stuck with. FWIW – if you want to work with video gear, you have to use fractional frame rates. Nevertheless, these issues don’t appear to be because of the fractional rates, but rather some internal difference between 30 versus 24. Often times these issues boil down to an internal arrogance among software designers for 24fps world. I’m not saying that’s the case here, but I have seen this attitude reflected at various times from all of the NLE companies.

Yes, only 23.98 for me.
I am going to run more tests at the office today as I have access to more media.

August 28, 2014 at 2:54 pmJust don’t quite understand why in this digital age you are not shooting everything at 30. I guess it’s still to do with the NTSC colour system.
I confess to being grateful for living in 50hz land sometimes. I think we have life a bit simpler.

This is going waaaaay OT.
Did you watch the BBC show Luther, or are you familiar with it?

Well, even integers, yes. But, what about the 24fps world (film)? In PAL countries you still have the 24 versus 25fps issues.

August 28, 2014 at 3:12 pmIt was interesting and sometimes cheeky.
I was just wondering, from production value standards, how this show fits in to the visual lexicon from the perspective of a UK resident.

August 28, 2014 at 3:13 pmDon’t even understand why we don’t all shoot 30FPS for Cinema?
Would that not be nice? A whole world united at 30FPS.
You know (sorry off topic again) I don’t have any experience of this, but I think that we do a straight transfer of 24 FPS to 25FPS for TV. Certainly we used to in film days.

August 28, 2014 at 3:19 pmI’ll check it out.
We have definitely seen a return to quality from the BBC due to competition from the American series like 24 (last series a bit disappointing), Blue Bloods (bit schmaltzy but I love it) and True Detectives (who mixed the audio though?) to name a few that have done really well here.
