The Info tab in the Project window lets you view the audio transfer rate you selected when you
created the project. The actual audio transfer rate might be different from the display if you used
the Film and 24p Settings dialog box to change the audio transfer rate.
The following table describes the Audio Transfer options:
Viewing Video Dailies
The video dailies method relies on videotape transfers from negative for screening, transferring,
and creating conformed cuts during editing.
The advantage of working with video dailies and film negative is that you can avoid the cost of
work print until the finishing stages, or altogether. The disadvantage is you are limited to the
aspect ratio, resolution, and contrast range of video previews. For this reason, video dailies are
preferred for television projects, but you can also use this method to economize on a feature film
production.
The illustration below describes the video dailies method:
Option Description
Film Rate (100%) Select this option when your 24-fps film footage has been transferred
MOS (roughly translated as “without sound”) to 25 fps by speeding up the
film, and the audio comes in separately at 100 percent of the actual speed
(PAL Method 2).
Video Rate (100%+) Select this option when your 24-fps film footage has been transferred to
25 fps by speeding up the film, and the audio is synchronized to the video
picture. This means that the audio speed is increased by 4.1 percent (PAL
Method 1).
