24 fps or 25 fps to start with

	24 fps or 25 fps to start with by Frank van Mourik on Jan 16, 2008 at 12:23:37 pm Hello hope someone can help me with this! I'm starting with an new animation! hand drawn 2d. The film wil be made in full HD (1920x1080) for blue-ray but there will also be an 35mm film. My problem is the frame rate. blue-ray is for as fare as i know 25 frames and 35mm is 24 fps. i want to animate on 24fps and later go to the 25 fps but is this the right way. and can I use AE for the conversion. or is there an better tool out there? thnx for any help! bye Frank Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

HD / BluRay is agnostic as to frame rate and should play back high definition video (from a number of codecs) in a number of HD standards, including 24fps. It's not a PAL/ NTSC world any more for hi def. There's more at http://www.vnunet.com/computeractive/features/2199250/definition-heaven-hel... and http://www.blu-ray.com/faq/#bluray As a caution, you may want to sort out early and run technical tests on your AE to film workflow - get to the lab or facility which will handle this and get their input in just how to set up your AE frames for best results on film. Again, the rest of your team might want to look at this too! Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

Good advice. If you go to the lab that will do the final transfer, they should do a few tests for free. Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index
