  Workflow questions

  Posted by Alexander Gao on April 23, 2007 at 9:10 pm

  Hello,
  I have a fairly straightforward question about workflow. Here goes:
  I shot my movie in 4:3 29.97i ntsc dv. Many of the shots are visual effects shots, and therefore I find myself needing to use after effects a lot. Adding to that, I want to convert all of the video to 24p using Magic Bullet. Therfore, I think that most of the shots will be going through AE and only be assembled in final cut pro.

  Question 1:
  When I export with magic bullet, can I export all of the same settings as dv (pixel aspect ratio, frame size), only changing the frame rate to 23.976 and applying the filter?

  Question 2:
  Since all of my footage will be exported from AE at 23.976 fps, is this the frame rate I should export my video to MPEG-2 when compressing for DVD? (Is DVD capable of 23.98?)

  Thank you very very much for your generous help, and sorry if this is partly an after effects question, but the main part of the question deals with FCP and compressor.
