Hi paul or anyone else
I'm sorry I'm not posting a answer to your question but another question..
I am just round tripping a film to FCP with resolve shot on Canon 5D at 23.976 and my XML tells me I'm at 24fps (I didn't uncheck 'use sequence settings')..
Firstly I'm a bit confused abut the 23.976 / 24fps thing - the 5D said 24fps but when I imported to FCP to edit I realised it was actually 23.976 ? Can you shed some light on why this is.?
Is it a problem to grade in resolve at 24fps when really the footage is 23.976? I.e. has my footage been changed to 24 from 23.976 and am I going to have trouble with both framerate conversion artefacts and audio syncing? Or am I still at 23.976 and just need to make sure my frame rate is correct on delivery.?
Does the xml timeline need to be reimported at 23.976 and is there a way to relink the grades I have already done?
I sorry if this is more questions and that this is probably a wider problem concerning frame rates that I have just encountered in resolve. I'm just not sure why I have 23.976 footage when it ought to be 24?
What I am kind of gathering is that digital 24fps is really 23.976 and sometimes when your read 24fps it really means 23.976 - but I'm just not sure why??? And what does this all mean for my xml import, my timeline settings or my delivery settings.
Much confusion?!?!
