24P to 25 what?

Posted by Chemix Ferreiro on May 19, 2011 at 6:59 pm

Hi all

In PAL land, what would be the correct way to go about 24P footage when it’s time to deliver for TV broadcast?

Our new AF 101 is getting here any day now and wonder if I should edit in a 24P FCP timeline and then cinema tool the master to 25P… or 50i…

In the end I guess it depends on the medium used for delivery (tape, upload…) and channel requirements but would like to hear from the ones who are actually doing it.

Thanks in advance

Thanks a lot Noah. I hope to get my head around all the fuss regarding the 50i to 24P process soon. I understand there’s the Avisynth route for PC users in NTSC land but… what’s a PAL-Mac user to do? Can you clue me on that?

There is no PAL Mac-user – FCP can handle both formats.

If you shot in 24p, edit 24p (keeping it all progressive) and speed it up with the help of Cinema Tools in the end. This is the way we’ve seen cinema on TV for 80 years in Europe.

When you play it out for TV, any I/O card (like AJA or BM) can convert that to PsF (Progressive segmented Frames, check Wikipedia).

Thanks Uli, I appreciate your words but I’m concerned about converting Panasonic’s GH2 50i footage (mainly for slow-mo) to 24P for editing along true 24P recorded footage

I’ll check the wiki on Psf

Thanks again for your time to help, I’ve been following you on the cow for a long time!

Hi Chemix,
Do you really need p24?
Are you printing to 35mm or delivering in NTSC-Land?
If not, forget about p24 and shoot p25.
That will make easier working with the Panasonic’s i50 stuff as well.

50i footage needs to be de-interlaced at high-quality to be used for slo-mo. I thought you were talking about 24 fps footage. IMHO, the best de-interlacer is RS Fields Kit by revisionfx. make a test to check if it’s up to your expectations. Of course it’s not like a RED One for slo-mo 😉
