Its a question thats been bugging me for quite sometime. Does it really matter what framerate I use? Like for example, when do you think is the right time to use AssumeFPS(24) or AssumeFPS(29.97)? Or something like that...well anyway, thats just a question thats been on my mind.

How can I tell if I am using the right framerate?

Well, framerate matters for a number of reasons.
First, if your framerate differs from the original framerate (usually 29.97 for NTSC), that means your footage will play at a different speed than the original file, or that your editing program will try to duplicate/eliminate frames as needed to match the new rate.
Also, if you aplan to make your AMV play on a TV, DVD player or anything that's not a computer, you'll probably need your video using one of the common standards (PAL, NTSC, etc.), and each one of them has a specific framerate.
With that said, most of the time it doesn't really matter: you can play files of almost any framerate on a PC, and since we are working with anime, it's much harder to detect motion choppiness and other issues of low or high framerates. Most people will only bother with framerates if they're trying to achieve a certain effect, like epileptic-inducing white flashes or the ultimate smooth computer-generated animation.

Ok, so in other words, keep the source footage at 29.97FPS if I wanna burn it to DVD and watch it on tv?7sigma wrote:Well, framerate matters for a number of reasons.

Or if I wanna keep it at the same length and speed as the source put at 24FPS? -Inuyasha the 3rd
