Selecting Output Formats for 23.976p, 24p, and 25p
Projects
To output a particular format:
1. Select Output >Digital Cut.
2. Click the Output Format menu, and select a play rate.
A brief description of each output format is displayed in the Digital Cut tool.
The play rate you select determines how the digital cut is recorded. For example, if you
select 23.976, you tell your Avid editing application to slow down the play rate to match the
play rate used during an NTSC telecine transfer. When your Avid editing application records
the digital cut, it adds the pulldown frames and re-creates a telecine transfer to an NTSC
videotape.
For NTSC output, your Avid editing application automatically sets the pulldown if
necessary. If your Avid input/output hardware has a pulldown indicator, it is turned on.
Audio play rates differ depending on your project type.
For full reference information on the output formats and on audio play rates, see “Output
Format Reference for 23.976p, 24p, and 25p Projects” on page 1075.
