 | You can use any DV device to feed material captured at 23.976p into your Avid application to create a 23.976p project. |
| For projects shot at 24fps, audio must be "pulled down" or "slowed down" before it can be captured into a 23.976p project. The user does not have the choice of capturing non-pulled-down audio. Unlike 24p NTSC projects, where the audio pulldown switch can be set to 1.0 or 0.99 to support either 24 fps or 23.976 fps, 23.976p projects do not use the audio pulldown switch. These 23.976p projects can only support 48 kHz audio that is in sync with 23.976-fps picture on a 29.97-fps transfer tape. |
| Media created in 24p projects and media created in 23.976p projects are not compatible. If you start working in one type of project and then decide to switch to the other, you need to recapture all video and audio media. You cannot relink video media or audio media across the two project types. |
| OMF and AAF files that are output from a 23.976p project look slightly different from those from a 24p project. The edit rates will show up as 23.976 fps in these files. |

Because of the way project information is stored, previous versions of Avid editing systems do not recognize 23.976p projects as being different from 24p projects. You can open 23.976p projects in previous versions, however, none of the media can play because of the different internal edit rates. Projects are not corrupted by opening them in older versions of the software (unless you try to modify clips or edit sequences). If necessary, you can recapture the media in the 24p project. |
