    25i PAL

    Posted by Goran Myrendal on June 25, 2008 at 8:03 pm

    Hi,

    I just bought a Panasonic HDX900.

    If I want to connect a non-linear editor to the DVCPRO output connector and edit the footage in 25i PAL, what format should I record the footage in?

    The reson why 25i PAL is that I sometimes work with news.

    Thanks

    Goran,

    News is more likely shot at 50i frame rate. 25fps is a progressive rate that duplicates identical frames to replicate a “film look”. News is usually shot to look more “live” which 50i does by creating a new field every half frame.

    Thanks for your quick reply!

    I have a avid program that I have used to edit DVCAM earlier. When I select format I have selected 25i PAL.

    I thought that 25 in 25i PAL stands for 25 megabit per second? What do you think about that?
