[Todd Kopriva] “You can export to ProRes in a QuickTime container as logn as you have the ProRes codecs installed.”
Important caveat:
IF you are working on a Mac. Unfortunately, we Windows users cannot export to ProRes. Maybe some day… Importing ProRes works just fine, though.-Jeff

If you are rendering your animation to a frame sequence (which you should be), the later conversion to MPEG is where you specify the actual frame rate. You could also use 29.97 FPS (for NTSC).

[Walter Soyka] “Color bars are better than nothing, but they’re not a substitute for a calibration engineer’s probe.”
Agreed. But they do get you a lot closer than “I guess that looks OK.”
Or using monitor “presets.”-jeff

Yet another vote: you need an external monitor. AND, you need to learn how to set it up properly referenced to color bars. If you can’t afford a professional production monitor, even a small mass-market TV monitor will be better than your computer screen, IF properly set up to color bars.

Glad it worked out. I was involved in a “48 hour” project several years ago. It’s crazy, but fun. Once!

… and make sure you know the difference between 30 FPS, and 29.97 FPS (which is NTSC). Also know that this does not mean “drop frame” vs. “non-drop” timecode. Timecode is a numbering schema, frame rates are playback schema.
