  • Off-Line editing for negative cutting

    Posted by Jo Eldoen on October 12, 2006 at 9:51 am

    Hello,

    This may be a stpud question, but I’m a little confused here…

    I’m editing a short film shot on 35mm. When finished I will send an EDL to the lab, and they will do a negative cut.

    I wonder what settings to use in FCP?
    The footage was scanned to digibeta and has a 25 fps TC .
    Should I edit in 24, 24@25 or 25 fps?

    Thanks:)

    j.

    depends what speed was used when you shot the film.

    if 25, edit at 25.
    if 24, you need to conform the video after capture to 24fps,
    and set it;s TC rate to 24@25
    edit in 24 fps sequencse with a TC rate 24@25.

    think that;s it,
    but it;s all in the manual.

    good luck,
    nick
