May 29, 2013 5:15 AM in response to Studio Xby Michael Grenadier,★Helpfulto be a nitpicker, Studio X means 24p not 24 fps. 24p is 23.976 fps second and can have pulldown added to make 29.97 fps, the ntsc standard. 24p material can also be used to author ntsc dvd's
24 fps is the speed film is generally shot at. It's usally sped up to 25 fps for PAL transfer and slowed down slightly to 23.976 with pulldown added to 29.97 fps for NTSC release.
Here's a user tip regarding working with different frame rates in fcp

Thanks for the clarification. Yes - 24p not 24 fps.
Also, if the person is going to DVD, he can use 24p directly (without adding pull down to get to 29.97).
DVD players marked "progressive" will add pull down if the TV requires it or send a straight 24p signal to the HDTV.
Cheers,

Putting aside the workflow issue for a moment (and adding flags), I was wondering if there is a quality issue in terms of the conversion. In other words, bring frame rates down from 30p to 25p as compared to going from 25p to 30p.
Thanks

fwiw - again, why do want to go to 30p when every DVD player in the world will play 24p?
If you are going to the web, 24p or 25p will give you a better image for a given data rate than 30.
