Re: Exporting to ProRes (packaging?) and frame-rate accuracy.

Well, in-house (that is less serious), it does cause duration difference of the video in an editor, so it could end up in an increasingly bad synchronisation of different essences.
Forwarding the export to third parties, on the other hand, could lead to the file not being accepted.
The first issue that concerns me here is when one needs to apply some kind of versioning that they created with the help of DCP-o-Matic or want to create on the next step and the non-existant preset for 24-to-24,01 fps (or the other way around) conversion of the video (or other element) cause inaccuracies.
The deriving concern is archiving. Meaning that, on occasion, one may prefer to keep a ProRes export of a DCP, instead of the DCP itself in one’s archive. If one can’t be certain that the export will “play well” with other programs or future programs/encoding systems that are meant to support ProRes, they’ll have to either search for other export means or keep copies of both formats.
I am now wondering if the title of the thread is not quite evident to the subject in hand.
Would someone with the same concerns find their way here, so they can in fact share experience and troubleshooting info?
You, Carsten, really invested time, thank you! But other people’s input might lead to other ways of looking the facts.
