The offline was also at 23.98, but the online is at 29.97DF
Richard: This situation you have described is exactly what is happening to us on a continuing basis. We have animation and live action coming to us in this manner. Our solution, for now, is to have the editors all stay at 23.98 - even the online edits at this rate until the final output. (The editors do the math and bring their show to time in 23.98 - no problems!) In audio post, we import the 23.98 OMF into a 29.97df project. We ask DV video of the project with burnin, and use our Fairlight Pyxis to pull out the video to 29.97df. We are then able to look at both TC - the 23.98 burn-in from the original, as well as the burn-in displayed by the Fairlight Pyxis. Therefore when referring to specific TC during reviews, we can always refer to the correct TC without doing any conversions. And yes, we are off by a little over a second across a 22 minute show.
