Multiple Frame Rates
It looks as if this topic has been covered somewhat in the forum already, but I’m still a bit in the dark.
I have a project that was shot on a P2 camera at 24p. Some of this was footage for chromakey so I have already gone through the headache of interpreting the footage in AE for the keying, etc. I’ve got that footage edited in a timeline in FCP and everything looks kosher. We’ll call this timeline “A”.
Now. I’ve got some stuff in a separate timeline, footage that was shot on the same camera, the same frame rate and the same codec, it’s been edited; we’ll call this timeline “B”. When I copy the footage from timeline “B” into timeline “A” the frame rate gets all weird.
I’m not opposed to the idea of completely re-editing the other footage in the , it’s not a particularly long segment, but if I could copy and paste it would obviously save me some time.
Any thoughts? All advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Sounds like your rendered piece from After Effects does not exactly match the footage in FCP.
A frame rate in an FCP timeline does not change once a shot has been added into it. If something looks weird, then one piece of video does not match the other.

Thanks for the reply, Walt.
I played around with it some more re-edited the one sequence and everything seemed to match fine.
Thanks again.
