Re: Apple Color does not accept 24p vids?

Codec problem.

COLOR adheres to the frame rate embedded in the XML created on the "Send To..." instruction.
COLOR certainly supports 24 fps, but usually in dpx/cin workflow. A lot of consumer codecs try to simplify the language for the laity so they don't get confused by "24", 23.98, 23.9759, and so on, as all editable video versions of "24" are really 23.9759 except for the pure cinema 24.000 cameras, which require different recording strategies, and then causes problems with audio sync if using double system workflow. And then there are some consumer codecs which are only compatible with proprietary editing applications that keep all the frame rates hidden (usually Long-GOP based). Some of these are totally incompatible with COLOR, and FCP for that matter. My daughter has hit me with formats from her cellphone which have all the characteristics of mp3 -- wandering sync mostly because of i-frame compression strategy that does not translate except within its own little world.
