Digidesign's FilmFrame is a software module that adds 24 frame Film Composer media support to AVoption- or AVoption|XL-equipped Pro Tools systems. FilmFrame allows Pro Tools users to work natively at 24 frames per second in Pro Tools with picture elements that have been created by an Avid Film Composer video editing workstation.
With the introduction of FilmFrame, Pro Tools becomes the industry's only digital audio workstation to offer true 24 fps integrated picture, further establishing Pro Tools as the workstation of choice for feature film and digital television post production professionals.
FilmFrame enables sound editors and mixers to view an accurate video conversion of the original 24 fps film footage, eliminating the need to work with NTSC (29.97 fps) or PAL (25 fps) video, and the sync problems inherent in frame rate conversion.
Leveraging the benefits of AVoption and AVoption|XL, such as random-access, broadcast-quality picture, and "plug and play" Avid video compatibility, FilmFrame makes Pro Tools the obvious choice for feature film audio professionals and paves the way for digital television formats such as 24P.
