Hey folks,
Just a few questions about Correct Frame Rate Conversions in Post, Monitor Playback & 3:2 Pull-Down during post that I hope some of you can help answer.
CORRECT FRAME RATE CONVERSION
When working with footage with different frame rates (24, 23.976, 30fps etc), what's the best timeline settings? If I have the most 24fps footage, should I set my timeline to 24fps and import the other footage into that timeline?
What happens to the 23.98fps footage when imported to a 29.97fps/29.976fps timeline? Does, e.g. Premiere Pro/Davinci Resolve make an automatic 3:2 pull-down?
What happens to the 25fps footage when imported to a 23.98fps timeline?
When does optical flow, frame blending and motion interpolation come into play when conforming from one fps to another fps?
I know that in most NLE's you can "interpret" the footage and change the native frame rate to something else but when would I want to do that? Maybe some examples would help me understand a bit better.
When does reverse 3:2 pull-down come into play in post-prouduction?
What's the difference between 29.97 and 29.976, and when are they used?
What's the difference between 23.976 and 23.98?
When you have 24fps footage that you intend to show on television in NTSC (60Hz), do I need to make a 3:2 pull-down? Which then makes it into a i60 footage (which is interlaced for broadcast), correct?
PLAYBACK
When playing back 24fps/25fps/23.98/23.976 fps footage on an external grading monitor, should I set my monitor to 50Hz to avoid judder? And for footage with a higher fps, should I set it to 60Hz?
Thanks :D
