    So, after shooting a music video last week in DVCPROHD 1080i60, I realized I need to look into 24p to shake off some of the “made in my basement” feel that you can get from 30fps.

    The problem is that every Saturday night we shoot live video in 1080i60 that HAS to be displayed in 1080i60 from the computers we push it to projectors on.

    I’m shooting with the HVX200 and have down the workflow for shooting in 24pA and bringing it in and whatnot.

    How do I get my finished 24p project to convert to 60i and play properly?

    Thanks!

    How will you be getting the signal to the projector?

    Through a program called ProPresenter that requires the footage be DVCPROHD 1080i60. Out of a Blackmagic Card component into the projector.

    The card can do the conversion. Just set your Video Playback to Decklink DVCPRO HD 8 bit 720p 59.94. That is how you need to have it set to view DVCPRO HD 720p anyway…no matter what frame rate you shot.

    I’m pretty sure the presentation software needs it to be 1080i60. It’s garbage software, but I can’t replace it yet.

    Also, it needs to get edited into a longer 1080i60 file. So at the end I really need a 1080i60 file for that if nothing else.

    Thanks, Shane. Appreciate the help.

    If you want 1080i60 footage that has the look of 24p, you need to shoot regular 1080p24, not 1080pA24, and edit it as 1080i60 with the pulldown left in.

    Shooting 1080pA24 is causing you extra headaches to try to reinsert pulldown to result in 1080i. You should only shoot 1080pA24 when you really need a 24p (23.976 in this case) master.
