HDTV Framerate settings?

Post by Animark »

Hi,

I am starting a little filmprojekt with TVPaint Animation Pro. I am a little bit confused about choosing the right framerate for the Full HDTV Resolution. I am new at this format, till today I've only worked in PAL or 2K Film Resolution. The film should be screened on Digi Beta and/or DVD (HD, Blueray) in european cinemas/festivals.

Should I choose 24 or 25 frames per second, when I use the 1920 x 1080 pixel progressiv format?

Thanks a lot,
Animark

Since you already decided to distribute your film only digitally, 25 fps would be OK.

Hi Slowtiger,

I've searched the internet and found that there are both options used in that format: 1920x1080 at 24 and 25 fps. So I decided to use 25 fps, because my project will never be exposed to 35mm film. Thanks for your answer, it improved my decision.
