Why shoot and import at 60fps?
Very curious as to why there is a codec in FCP for importing DVCPRO HD at 60fps. I’ve been told that if you want to make the leap to 1080i from Varicam 720p you shoot at 60 and import at 60. What is practical about doing this? How do they make a progressive signal into an interlace one? How does this look? Thanks.

I am told that each of the 60 progressive frames is made into each of the 60 fields in 1080i, resulting in very good quality.

The same is true with 30 fps; each frame is repeated twice with matching fields, resulting in a 60i playback with the look of 30p. Again 24 fps is also similar with an offset repetition resulting in 60 fields per second from repeated frames and fields that maintains the look of film after its been through a telecine.
