Re: [Avid-L2] 30fps vs 29.97 Semantics

 

They probably smell bad, too.

If somebody says "we're shooting 30" and you're not already friends, they are an AMATEUR or a HOBBYIST and you could expect a mix of frame rates and resolutions from them. Professionals understand this stuff needs to be specific and will be thorough about telling you what you're getting.

This is 2017.

Understood. But being as I exist mainly in the feature world, there is a HUGE difference between 23.98 and true 24. We don't use shorthand since the the consequences can be dire. In other words, me no like shorthand.

30fps is many peoples shorthand for 29.97.

30.00 fps does exist. You can create a project for it. DNX codec types are the exact same ones for 29.97 (145 / 220).

But I would double check that. 30 fps is not an on air standard. It is likely a digital delivery (video games, YouTube, etc.).

I'm being told an incoming show is shooting '30fps' using a Canon XF300. But is there really such thing as '30fps'? Might they actually be shooting 29.97? And if that's true, then what DNxHD resolution should I ask them to transcode to if the goal is to cut at a good resolution for pilot submission? 220x should be fine, right?

Thanks!
