  Canon 550D video editing settings?

  Posted by Elliot Beach on June 7, 2010 at 6:55 pm

  I need to edit some video for a short music video and want to get the correct sequence settings for editing the video in Adobe Production Premier.

  The 550D shots in full HD 1920×1080

  I’ve tested a couple out and I seem to get the best results with (if shooting in 30fps):

  – DVCPROHD 1080i60, 29.97 fps, Progressive scan, Frame size locked at 1280×1080 (16:9)

  If shooting at 24fps would I just change the fps in the sequence settings to 23.976?
  Are these the right settings for 30fps?
  Is it better to shot in 24fps or 30fps?

  What other tips/advice can you give for getting the best quality video and editing set up for the 550D?

  Thanks, E =)

  The camera records H.264, which is a square pixel PAR.

  DVCPro is not, so you are adding the burden of PAR conversion on top of the processing (unless you are remdering).

  I usually just use the desktop sequence setting, 1920×1080 square (1.0).

  CS5 will take the footage in it’s native form…runs like a bandit on a decent system.
