  • What HDV settings to use

    Posted by Khurum Khan on November 30, 2010 at 8:14 pm

    Hi people,

    I shot an event on my Sony Z7 HDV cam.
    settings i used on cam were 1081 25P.

    i was wondering what are the best settings
    for me to use in FCP.
    is it 1080i50, 1080i60 or 1080p25

    and does anyone know what settings to use to
    get a uncompressed letterbox look or an actual
    film aspect ratio.

    thank you..
    all feedback will be much appreciated.

    if you shot 1080 25p you edit 1080 25p

    that makes no sense to me, what are you trying to deliver here?
