Best Export Setting for TV 1080 with constant FPS

1080 23.976fps  DSLR footage

Coming from Final Cut Pro,  I would export a ProRes 1080 mov file for my TV.  This would give me a high quality playback.

I have experimented with several export options in PP 6 and noticed choppy playback on my TV.  Upon closer inspection, the FPS appears to be changing with each frame. 

What settings do I need for a constant 24fps with a high bitrate ?

That's unlikely.  The video industry is based around a single frame rate for any given file.  And PP itself isn't capable of exporting variable frame rates.  Bitrates, yes, but not frame rates.

For TV viewing of that source material, I recommend the HD 1080p 23.976 preset found under the H.264 format.

In particular, I"m noticing lag on a clip that I keyframed the "Motion' of and my animated logo which is a MOV ProRes HQ file.  This clip was created in AE. 

I have used my logo in many projects under Final Cut and after exporting my timeline, no lagging.

In the timeline, the animated logo and the keyframed clip playback perfectly.  I am only seeing this lag after I export Media and playback on my laptop and or desktop.

The laptop hasn't experienced any playback issues until I introduced it to an mp4 file from PP6.

I should also mention that all of the clips in the timeline are 1080 DSLR footage. 

Thanks to everyone for their helpful ideas! 

Joe, I have tried the HD 1080p 23.976 preset found under the H.264 format and the film playsback fine except for the aforementioned clips above.

What are the specs of the animated and logo clips?

...noticed choppy playback on my TV.  Upon closer inspection, the FPS appears to be changing with each frame.

What file type and codec did you export for viewing on your TV?

What are you using to play back on the TV, and what is telling you the fps is changing?

Does the file play smoothly if re-imported into Premiere?

What settings do I need for a constant 24fps with a high bitrate ?        

Whatever fps setting you use on export should not vary or be altered.

What file type and codec did you export for viewing on your TV?

          Quicktime...H264.  MOV  

What are you using to play back on the TV, and what is telling you the fps is changing?

          Playback via my laptop using Quicktime player.  Get Info gives me the bitrate and fps.     

Does the file play smoothly if re-imported into Premiere?

     Havent' tried that yet.

Whatever fps setting you use on export should not vary or be altered.

          I agree!  I've been using the same export technique for years with FCP and no issues.

* I did bump up the bitrate to the max on the video tab.  There are 2 sliders and I maxed out both.   This won't be an internet file so size doesn't matter in the case.

Maybe your laptop cant keep up with the bitrate and size of the movie file.
