  dvcpro vs 720p? what is high def

  Posted by Kevin Brown on December 30, 2009 at 2:40 am

  maybe not the best forum for this question but seemed to be the clsoest.
  So i did a short film on a panasonic aj-d700p, it is a 750 line camera. When i edited in avid liquid it output at 720X486. Is this the same as high def 720/60i?
  Or was this native at 720/23.97
  thanks, kevin

  I shot footage using an hvx 200 .. I used a 16 gb p2 card. I’m using final cut 6.1.2 .. I import my footage using log and transfer. My problem is I’m editing the footage after importing it on a 59 94 time line.
  I want to edit a 23.98 time line so i used my remove dupilcate frames import and my audio is out of sync?
  Can anyone suggest anything.. Presently I edit 59.94 then export and using compressor export using dvc pro 24 p to get the frame rate of 23.98 ..

  Kevin,

  480×720 is a standard definition camera. It’s not high def.

  DVCproHD records 960×720 and plays it back as 1280×720.

  BTW, there is no 720 60i HD format. It’s always 720 60p.

  I believe your camera is a 480i camera.

  Hope the movie came out well 🙂
