Maya to AE frame rate prolem.. Please help..
For some reason when I bake the camera in Maya and import the .ma file into AE, the frame rate of my two comps (squared and nonsquared) come in at 24fps.. The tiff sequence that I exported from Maya is 29.97 so the tif doesn’t sync to the camera. The only workaround that I have found has been to change the frame rate of my tif sequence to 24. Then everything locks perfectly. Is there a way to get Maya to export a 29.97 tif sequence or AE to recognize it properly?

I really think Maya was set to 24. Maya’s frame rate is not so straight forward. It’s been a couple years since using Maya so I’m foggy, but I believe it’s under the “standards” setting or something similar in the prefs. You’ll have to improvise. But it’s not just a quick click on export.
You can make a Playblast to Quicktime and look at the framerate of it in the Quicktime Player.

For whatever reason, Maya defaults to 24fps. In Maya, go to: Settings/Preferences>Preferences
In “Settings”, find “Working Units” and change the ‘Time’ setting from “Film 24 fps” to your appropriate standard, NTSC or PAL.
