  • Rendering for 24p Avid project?

    Posted by Rob Hardy on June 27, 2007 at 2:11 pm

    I’m still new to the industry, so I was hoping some of you veterans could help me out. I have an Avid project that is 24p. I’ve created some simple animations using After Effects 7 using some illustrator files and simple transitions. When I render it out as normal and import into Avid, I get choppy, jittery animations that really look like it’s due to the 24p nature of the project and me not knowing how to render for that. If anyone out there could help me and give me some input as to what setting I need to use to render from After Effects for this it would help me out more than you could imagine. Thank you in advance for any help you can give.

    If your animations involve something moving straight across the screen at a slow-to-medium pace, you’re stuck. There are some motions that just don’t look good at 24p. You’d have to change the motion so it’s less regular, or distract the eye, that sort of thing.

    Was that it?

    I’m guessing, here, but I’d try this:

    -Make your comp 24p.
    -When you render, in the output modul add a 3:2 pulldown. Try using the first option for the cadence. You should have a framerate of 29.97/30.
    -Import it into the Avid.
    -Also render a 24p file for the final conform.

    I know it sounds weird, but when Avid digitizes a tape into 24p, it’s actually using 29.97 media, so maybe that’s how it wants the file, too.

    Unfortunetly, I’ve tried the pulldown options, and all of them look the same once imported. I do have a lateral motion (it’s a ball that rolls across the screen), so if that’s the case, does it look like I’m screwed? Will I have to come up with some other animation as the first poster suggested?
