Hey,

I have a number of different animations that I need to put onto a reel. My problem is this:

Some are animated at 30fps, and some at 24fps. I have the original maya scenes, but when I convert my frame rate, it seems there are a lot of small pops and clicks. I would rather avoid having to do this cleanup as I have many separate scenes.

I would like to know, is there a way I can keep my original animations as uncompressed video at their own respective frame rates, and solve the problem "universally" in my editing software ? ( premiere in this case ). The goal being to try and retain the original smooth motion and timing of each animation.

( I`m looking to output to a web-based reel, but also an NTSC dvd is highly probable )

thanks for any insight - I appreciate it.

Hi Winner,

You can make a similar "telecine process", putting your 24p video (not 23.976) in a 23.976 Composition (After Effects), with same time, then apply a time stretch of 100.1%. Your video have the same size of the Composition now.

In the Render Settings choose Lower Fields (if you're using a NTSC Project in the Premiere) and in the 3:2 pulldown list, choose WWSSW.

Your 24p animation will become in a 29.97 NTSC video.

I hope help you.

I will try this at home. I have had similar reponses from elsewhere so this seems like the way to go ..
