I made my animation at 24 fps (using the pal presets). In a video editor pal uses 25 fps. Will my animation be shorter and play faster when I render it through the video editor. Should I compensate this? If yes, how should I deal with this?

framerate question

How fast your animation plays in the video editor will depend on its settings for import. Default would be that a second of video is a second of video, no matter at which frame rate. The video editor will interpolate non-matching framerates during import. Have a look into the manual for the video editor.
Normally, for animation it would be best to preserve "frame integrity". If I goofed up framerates (or have to work from different sources) I'd go for importing frame to frame, even if the animation plays 4% faster or slower, which is not visible at all but could lead to problems when syncing to sound. It is easy to stretch a hold in the animation for a frame or two to maintain synchronicity again.

I rendered my animation as a sequence of png so I guess there is no way the video editor can find out by itself what framerate it should use. During import of the sequence of pngs the framerate is asked and I accepted the defaults for PAL (25 fps). This makes my animation a little faster but as you say you cannot notice this. I am fine with this approach.
For future projects, should I use a framerate of 25 fps in Anime Studio in stead of the default 24 fps?

Hi,
Thank you all for the help and tips.
I am still struggling a little bit on what the best recipe is to get my animation onto DVD. I managed to brun it on DVD and the quality is acceptable for showing my animation to family and friends. However I have the feeling that a better quality should be possible. In some scenes you can see the pixels in the line when you are close to the TV. When I inspect the pngs that came out of Anime Studio, the line are not showing the pixels as shown on TV.
Do you have any experience in burning the animation to DVD, what tooling do you use and what should I take into consideration for improving the overall qualility?

PS I used vegas studio platinum with dvd architect, so not a real high end tool, using premiere elements results in more or less the same quality.
