    I am compositing some blue screen footage with some Flash animation. I had the Flash artist render out the work at 1280×720 Animation codec 30fps. What I got was everything but the frame rate. It says 10fps in FCP. Is this correct, and or is tis going to work?

    If your sequence is 30fps, a 10fps animation will look very choppy.

    In my experience, most Flash animators work at 10 or 12fps. He probably used the default by mistake. You might try to change the frame rate with Compressor. Be sure to turn on Frame Controls and select best for rate-conversion. 10 to 30 is a big jump, so it still might not look very smooth.

    I agree with Dave.
    For an animation 10 or 12 fps is OK, but if you have to compose it with video, won’t work.
    Tell your animator to export with the same time-base than you intend deliver.
    And if you are ending interlaced, ask interlaced.
