Yes they are because if you edit on a program likes movie MAGIX Movie Edit Pro 11 you are editing a movie at 29.9 FPS that is ok if you edit video because video records at 29.9 FPS but film records at 24 FPS so it will not be smooth if you edited on that program but apple and there programs allow you to edit at 24 FPS but there are also other programs that allow this too.
