OMF and 23.98

Hello,
I'm working with a Final Cut Session that's in 23.98. The exported OMF sounds it's in 29.97. Can OMF export 23.98 timelines?
Thanks,
Adam

The exported OMF sounds it's in 29.97

What do you mean by that?

I work in 23.98 timelines, and export 23.98 OMFs. 5 times now without a hitch. Just FYI, I do this with Automatic Duck so that I retain my audio level changes and keyframes. My current mixer prefers to have this as a starting point (he trusts my audio mix...nice man).

Hi Shane,
Thanks for your reply.
I'm the sound designer on a film that's in 23.98. When I received the OMF it was off and it felt/seemed like the omf was exported in 29.97. The editor said when he exported the OMF, FCP didn't have a dialog box with any options.
We are not working with Automatic Duck(which works great) so I have a feeling that FCP only exports OMF as 29.97, but I'm not sure.
have you exported a 23.98 OMF without Automatic Duck?
Thanks again,
Adam

I have exported an OMF without the duck at 23.98...and the audio engineer got it and it worked fine, but being that they had s short time to to the mix, they wanted my pre-mix...so I went and got the duck. But the Apple OMF should do 23.98.

Shane,

You know that FCP 6 exports OMFs with level changes and keyframes now? Tried it yet? I haven't had a chance yet.

I did know that...but I haven't tried it yet. I am in Avid land and have been since July. Will be until...November?

I don't even own FCS 2 yet...so...
