  Combining P2 24PN footage with Varicam

  Posted by Scott Stohler on February 8, 2007 at 2:23 am

  I am beginning post on a show shot primarily on Varicam, with a few b-roll elements captured on a HVX200 at 720 24PN.

  The piece will be mastered to DVCPro tape and projected using a 1200A deck.

  I understand that I have to be careful with the P2 Native footage, since it is not 23.98 over 59.97 as is the Varicam footage.

  I am looking for any and all tips and suggestions on combining these two types of footage and avoiding problems when it comes to mastering to tape.

  Thanks,

  As as you shoot 24p with the Varicam and remove the pulldown when you capture, then there will be no problems at all. I have delivered three shows with that formula, Varicam and HVX intermixed, to the History Channel for broadcast.

  I even blog about it…click on Underdog and read from the beginning.
