NTSC quicktime into smoke

[dp]

Hello people

a quick question – i will need to import a quicktime of an NTSC project into our smoke for a playout onto digibeta, the original project was setup in Final Cut and shot on 16mm. Its roughly 3 minutes long and since we always have issues importing quicktimes into our smoke i was hoping to export this quicktime as a targa sequence and import it that way.

Will this affect the frame rate at all?

if so how will i go about fixing this?

any better suggestions?

Forgive my lack of technical know how but since im based in the UK its not often that i work on NTSC based projects.

EDIT: I should read the friggin subject.

If you did your fcp timeline at 29.97 and bring it into a 29.97 NTSC project, I believe you should be fine.

You’re correct, imho, to simply output an image sequence. That’s how I work between After Effects and flame/smoke.

I have had no problems with QT as long as you keep them simple… no fancy codecs. Just use Animation and you will be fine.

And a 3 min project should all come in one clip… it should be less than 2 gigs.

NTSC 29.97 QT into a 29.97 NTSC will be fine… shouldn’t have any issues.
