Frame rate shot in different to project delivery requirements
Hi there,
Any help would be much appreciated.
The camera and sound were both shot in 4k at 23.97 fps, synched with timecode. But the project delivery requirements are for a 24 fps export.
I’ve tried transcoding the media to “convert to project frame rate”, but it would appear that I would have trouble relinking back to the RAW media later down the line.
I have also tried transcoding the media but keeping the source’s frame rate, and then afterwards changing the playback rate in the source settings. But then when I import the audio (at 24fps), I have trouble syncing them because the proxy video media is at a different frame rate.
Any suggestions? Thanks again.

Hey Harvey,
What a pain!
Obvious questions are to why the crew did not shoot in 24P?
Not that it will make any difference right now.However, first it is important to identify where your file is going to be used?
Is it for projection or broadcast?If projection, you may need 24P.
If for broadcast, it is likely that they want 23.97 fps.
(Evidently, there is an extremely small difference in playback between the two)Might be worth asking client if they know why 24P was stipulated?
It might be that they used to shoot on film, but that this framerate is not relevant to the end destination for a digital file.Worst case, export out at maximum quality in 23.97 fps, then take the file to Davinci or similar and put it in a 24P timeline and hit export.
I found this Reddit that might help you.Hope that this helps?

The only common delivery that wants 24 would be a DCP for a theatre.
Creating a 24 dcp from a 23.98 master is quite simple
Pretty much every other delivery you will be asked for is going to be either 23.98, 29.97, or possibly a PAL conversion down the road. All of which are easy to create from a 23.98 Universal Master.
I would continue down the road of working in 23.98 until it is time to create your distributables.
And i would make those distributables from a 23.98 master.
(I should add the last piece i did that was shot at 24 had a dcp made for 1 festival, and then was sold to a distributor that said “great, get us a 23.98 master and we are good to go”)
