30p-24p what the ?

[Noah Kadner]

It’s a question of taste. To me personally 30p looks like video with a high speed shutter while 24p looks like film.

thanks !
that’s my opinion as well…i asked the executive producer why they shoot 30p instead of 24p but he said he doesn’t know why…

i guess i just wanted to make sure i wasn’t doing anything stupid…but i think i’ll stay 24p.

[Noah Kadner]

Sure- but 30p must be edited at 29.97. It cannot be used in a 23.98 timeline.

i see…
but even at 24p i have to edit in a 29.97 timeline right…
i’d have to shoot in 24 p advance to edit in a 23…timeline ?

24pA with automatic pulldown removal or 24p standard with pulldown removed via CinemaTools.

that’s great information…and rather than check the validaty of it…i’m just going to take it in and accept it ! i love old school hollywood and their refusal to change their ways…costing movie prices to go over 8-9 bucks a ticket !

so the real question i’m left asking is i shoot on 24p 0r 30p…if i edit in final cut pro…it’s still a 29.97 timeline, right ? is that the standard way or am i missing something here.

No it depends what your finish will be. If it’s a filmout or a native 24p DVD you can edit only 24p on a 23.98 timeline. 30p is always on a 29,97 timeline. You can also edit 24p or 24pA on a 29.97 timeline by not removing the pulldown. If you still don’t track, read all of this:

Considering most 24p cameras used by major film studios like the Sony F900 and Panavision Genesis cost as much or more than their 35mm equivalents for a daily rental- I have a hard time agreeing with you on the ‘cheaping out’ part.
