I've never had a need to get that "film feel", but the time has come. Does anyone have a link to a thread here on the matter?

I've seen a few in the past, but this place is getting full!

Thanks in advance, as always.

What's "that film feel"?

24 fps?

Is that it? "Project Settings" has a place to enter that number.

I'm sorry. I left out some things. Yes, 24fps will be set in projects, but when i render out my project in my editor (Vegas) am I going to lose the feel going to 29.97?

I've got a mix of video, stills, animation, etc all going into this project.

Thanks for getting back to me btw too.

Vegas should add 'pulldown' to make 24 turn into 29.97. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecine That's what all the 'old' cartoons have to have anyway. Do they lose that feel?

You should try your project settings at 12 fps. A major amount of animation is produced at that rate. (animating on 'twos'). Maybe you want to add some 'softness' too. Grain, texture, blur-that sort of thing.

It depends on what "feel" you are really trying to get.

Computer animation could be 24fps and still not have whatever "feel" you want. Is it a lower frame rate look? Is it bloom or film grain? If you want the "whole thing" to have the same "look" and it comes from different applications or sources then everything should be done at the same fps and the same "quality" and any "look" should be done at the end in post. If you wanted a lower fps "look" you could render it out of your video editor at a lower frame rate and bring it back in and out put again.
