Here's a topic that makes me claw my face apart.... Frame rate and 3/2 pulldown.
Normally, I'm fine with it all in my FX work... but in this particular project, I'm a bit confused.
I've created a slideshow video in AfterEffects, with the intention of then bringing it into DVDA to make a movie DVD out of . I'm not entirely sure what fps it should have...
Currently the AfterEffects project is set to 29.97fps.
Confusing thing is, normally when I do FX work (for example), I get the 29.97 source footage, bring it into AE, take out the split frames (resulting in a 23.97fps clip, do the FX, then render it out as 29.97fps with the split frames put back in... Makes sense....
But, what if I am creating a slideshow that is using just stills inside AE (...again, with the intention of bringing it into DVDA). Should I render it out as 29.97fps with split frames.... or 29.97fps without split frames (...just full frames)? Again, the project is currently 29.97 (whole frames)... and I'm starting to fear that I should have set it to 23.97 now.
I would assume that DVDA would want 29.97fps with split frames. Is it a serious issue to give it a 29.87fps clip with whole frames? I know that's not technically correct, but I may be forced into doing that, as switching the project around may screw up all the other timings... argh...
Hope someone can shed some light on this... Thanks
