Conversely, for film projected at 24fps. a strip of film shot at 18fps will play fast, whereas a strip of film shot at 24fps will play at normal speed.
Of course, I understand this. But this has no meaning in relationship to the scenario I outlined above. I said, assuming that everything was conformed to realistic speed, meaning that everyone walked down the street at a real, naturalistic pace, more action time would transpire in the 18fps shot and thus the sequence would be longer. Pretty sure this is correct.

Where did you get this from? The last comment from
mojohey on the other thread here:
viewtopic.php?t=12714&start=60&postdays ... highlight=
was this comment:
"30 seconds of film assuming its 24fps (yes 10ft)..."
This is at the bottom of page 5.

That's exactly my point. If people shoot at 24fps (because they are under the impression that "it doesn't matter"), and the final editing maintains a 44 second segment length in the final edit, their footage will look slow. And I, for one, don't want this in my segment.

But won't this mess with the image if your framerate has to be "taken care of" (either by speeding up or slowing down)? Why not just decide uniformly before we get too far down the line?
