  Editing in 24P mode

  Posted by Dennis Bungay on May 23, 2005 at 12:38 am

  I have a material shoot at 24P mode using XL2. Is there any possibility that I will be having a problem in capturing it using the xl2 as my deck and dub it in 30p ntsc?

  The XL2 only records in 60i no matter what frame rate you select. “30p ntsc” dose not exist. ntsc is only 60 fields per second. 30p is only two fields of 60i displaying the same image, not 1/60th fields. if your going back to video tape ie beta sp, idvd, or vhs, then edit as you do with normal 30i video, and skip the pulldown. If your going to DVD studio pro, film, ATSC DTV, or web find out what pulldown (2:3, 2:3:3:2) was used and turn on remove dv pulldown with that setting. you will get 24p material to edit. to go to tape, you need to add pulldown to stretch the 24p back to 30i. DV tape only runs at 59.97i and this is the ntsc standard, just like vhs.
