    I don't believe any normal NLE has support for 48FPS projects. The Avids on The Hobbit used modified timecode processing to cut in 24FPS while tracking timecode as 48FPS. SGO Mystika handled the...

    Having now seen it my take is lighting is the biggest issue. Because HFR creates a sense of reality, traditional film lighting which creates a painterly quality of depth looks ridiculously over the...
