    So, I have a clip at 24 FPS that i drag into after effects. Just like the tutorials, I duplicate it, drag the second copy on top, double click it to get to the “layer” window to rotoscope, grab the rotobrush and it tells me i need to set the composition frame rate to 23.976. Okay, cool. I set the composition to 23.976 and to my horror, as i grab the rotobrush again, the top layer (duplicate copy of the footage) all of a sudden doesn’t line up with the original! (AKA the duplicate footage layer is scooted down a bit) What is this? So, being experimental, I changed the composition back to 24 FPS and the interpret footage as well, and it is still happening!

    SOMEONE FRICKIN HELP.
    NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW THE ANSWER.

    Pretty much everything you just said, I’ve already done and explained that in the original post. I did the “interpret footage” thing already. But here is what the problem is, I’m using dynamic link, so it’s not as easy as just dropping the clip in after effects, I come from premiere pro and choose “replace with after effects composition” and it opens AE AND creates a comp for me. I then go into the side panel and go to interpret footage” menu. So I guess my question is “Are you then asking me to after going to “interpret footage”, to then REOPEN and the drag the footage again?

    Okay… So I’m guessing you don’t know how to do it? I just need help in figuring out how to do it?
