24p Advanced in After Effects 5.0. How?

[Daftman909]

Ok, two questions:

Simply put, I shot my footage in 24p Advanced and I will be adding effects in AE and I was wondering how do I go about this? How can go about this while editing it in the 24 frame format to which is was shot without making a mistake and messing up the footage with unnesscary interlace or fields when it comes to setting the composition or exporting or even accidently making it 29.97?

Also, I will be inserting 29.97 explosion footage in a composition and was wondering how I should go about this?

well, make it with more than 1 compoitions.

I am extremely familiar with AE when I worked with interlaced 29.97 video but I am clueless when it comes to working with 24p Advanced.

AE will correctly interpret the footage if you tell it to. You should be fine from there.

My work flow is:
1) Set the Comp frame rate to 23.9xx (whatever's correct; I can't recall off-hand)
2) Import Footage
3) Interpret footage> Guess 24Pa pulldown.
4) Create effects
5) Export at 29.9xx
6) Import into editor of choice

Would exporting at 29.97 make it into interlaced video or will it go back to 23.976 after I import it back into Premiere Pro 1.5? (I'm editing this movie on a 24p timeline). I'm trying to keep it at the accurate frame rate without motifying the video except for the added effects.

I'm not sure if it's going to be interlaced, but if you're working on a 24p timeline, it's not going to match.

Forgive me for not being familiar enough with Premiere... this is how I work with Vegas.

OK, if you're editing in 24p (23.976, 23.98) then export it in that frame rate and set up your comp in AE to match. That simple. When you import the footage highlight it in the project window and hit Ctrl-F, and this will open the Interrupt Footage window. Make sure Seperate Fields is set to off, and you should have no problem.

You can put your 29.97 footage in the same comp as 24p, but it will cause the playback to be funny, from what I understand. Haven't tried it though.

So simply put:

Export video from Premiere Pro 1.5 at 23.976-> Import into AE 5.0-> Set Comp to 23.967->Separate Fields off.

Right?

Pretty much, unless someone has a better idea. That's exactly what I would do.

That's the way I would do it. But then again, premiere allows for a degree of compositing itself with "blending modes" that you could use, so if in doubt, create all your elements in AE and export them with an alpha channel if needed and use them in Premiere.

I would go with Daftman's route, as I am familiar boucning between apps.



EDIT: WHen you capture anything in Premiere 1.5 which is 24p OR 24pa, it interperates at capture as 23.97x and when you go to export, you will just have to find a place to save. no additional buttons to push. THen, AE recognizes it as 24p and you are good to go.
