Reply to 24fps project and 25fps output.

My recommendation would be to speed it up. This is what we often do for feature films shot at 24 when they are being delivered for tv in the UK. Duplicating a frame every second in order to keep the same duration can be very noticeable, especially during smooth camera movements. So yes bring your export into a 25fps project and then use source…

Hi Doron. I believe 2021 is only qualified for use on Big Sur. The last version I would recommend for High Sierra (I’m on an old MacPro too) is 2020.12.

However, there are tools used in audio post to conform an ProTools ses…

Glad you got it working Christian. I know Avid can feel like it’s complicated when starting it out, but I think the reason for that is it wants to offer you control and precision. Like an F1 car. If most people tried to drive one, they’d probably be slower than they are in a regular car at first. The method of assigning the LTC to an AUX TC track,…

Hi Christian. It’s been a little while since I’ve done it, but Media Composer does have the ability to read LTC timecode and then use it to sync.

Then your LTC timecode will be applied as an auxiliary timecode to your clips…
