  Working with HD and SD in same project.

  Posted by Dylan Kimbrell on March 6, 2008 at 12:31 am

  I’m currently cutting a reel for someone and am working with an assortment of different video types with varying resolutions and framerates. The highest quality footage is 720 24p but I have just about every flavor of SD footage as well.

  What’s the best way to set up a project to house all these different types of footage? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

  If you have interlaced souurce footage, you want to set up an interlaced project. Interlaced footage will not deinterlace very well.

  If you have 29.97 fps source footage, you will want to set up a 29.97 fps project (except in the unlikely case you are making a film print). 29.97 fps footage doesn’t convert to 24 fps very well.

  If you only need SD output, it will be easier (faster) for the system to render to SD. A DV preset would be easy for most systems to handle.

  Otherwise, I’d go for 1080i 29.97 fps. This format typically requires a high performance system with a capture card and a disk array. The codec would be whatever your system will support at that resolution. DVCPRO HD would be good if that is an option. HDV would be okay.
