  Some clarity on 24p, please

  Posted by Adam Clark on February 10, 2011 at 10:58 pm

  I have done searches, read a lot of posts, wikipedia etc. and this is still not making sense to me. I am almost embarrassed to make yet another post on the matter since it seems so redundant. However, I am touching on fps in a college thesis paper and I need to be absolutely clear on 24p.

  My understanding and please correct me if I’m wrong (I probably am, that’s why I’m here)…

  There is a “true” film 24p and there is a video 24p which is actually 23.976. When speaking in terms of video, when one refers to 24p they really mean 23.976? Is there a general misconception about the term 24p or is it all in my head?

  I know that working at 23.976 for video is important because it is more compatible with 29.976 for pulldown, is that right? So, are there any instances when you would actually work at true 24p in AE?

  Perhaps the sad truth is the answer I am looking for is not as straightforward as I would like, but thank you for enlightening me on the subject.
