Hello Dave,

Thank you for your detailed answer. First of all, animation festivals want 23.976, 24, 25 or 30 fps, I think I picked the 24 one because we have been drawing 16fps and I thought 24 is the most suitable one for our film, my mistake 🙂

Yesterday I tried to export 16 fps composition into a 24 fps movie clip and they look the same. I think my concern is both artistic and technical. I am not sure if 16 fps animation would look good on the big screens. We are worried that multiplied in-between frames might look weird on the big screen. Can this kind of export cause problems for the film festival procedures? Should we really draw as many frames as our film requires, or is it OK to do these kinds of hacks? 🙂

Thank you very much Dave!

Kevin,

I tried your answer however I realized that the psd file from the pro-composition does not cast shadow in the main composition. There are lots of psd layers staying at the different Z positions. They cast shadow on themselves in the main composition, but they do not cast shadow at the background.
Also, when I drag and change their Z position in the main timeline, they do not go under the background layer. I mean other images disappear since they are under the background, but these .psd files do not recognize the background image.

Do you have any solution for this?

Thank you.

Yes. And I also tried re-installing.
I think the problem is about my video display adapters.
