Anyone here compose movie soundtracks? What sample/bitrate?

Wondering what sample rate / bitrate you're using?
fwiw I'm using Finale 25 but when I export it only does 16 bit so it's losing the 24 bit sample quality..... I could rewire it into Reaper and mix it there.....
Just wondering if there's a smarter process?

48k/24 bit
But I wouldn't stress, that's the post-guy's job.
24 bit is obviously best but the chances of anyone ever being able to hear the difference... go with the best/most creative work flow that works for you.

It's likely changed since, but when I did the music mixing at AFTRS several years ago, it was important to deliver the correct format, which at the time was "industry standard" 16 bit / 48KHz.

Here is my take on it, I have Post Supervised films and Televisions Series, as well as bring involved in the Producer / finance side of things.
The standard for theatrically distributed films (DCP) is either 24/96 or 24/48.
The standard for network delivery is 24/48 or 16/48.
Use 24/96.
As a post supervisor, converting from 24/96 to 24/48 or 16/48 is dead simple, and if the film is delayed by a few years it's great to know you are future proofed, when Netflix starts requiring 24/96, or Discovery Channel starts requiring HD Audio masters for their 4k channel.
As a producer, If I was sent a soundtrack from a composer in 24/96, I would be stoked, as it opens up further revenue streams.

it's a real shame that Finale 25 only exports in 44.1/16 - especially seeing it allows me to compose using 24 bit samples....
