Re: [Avid-L2] Re: 24p/25p?

 

and a good opportunity for math class 101
(much more appreciated on the FCP-L, but that's another story...)

For 24 with 50 Hz light:
24 fps / 50 hz * 360 (degrees) = 172.8
That makes for 23.976: 172.6272 (no idea if that's an option...)

For shooting 24 in the US:
24 fps / 60 hz * 360 (degrees) = 144 degrees

But the bottom line, set your exposure time to a multiple of the light
frequency and you should be safe...
(and there is logic in that...)

(disclaimer, i'm not a DOP, but just love to understand the way things
work...)
