720p 30 to Blu-Ray workflow
Hi there,
If I have some native 720 30p footage in a matching 720 30p timeline in Premiere Pro CS6. What would be the best method for getting it into a Blu-Ray format?
I’m aware of https://forums.adobe.com/thread/421178?tstart=0 which looks like these would be my best options (without resizing):
1280 × 720 16×9 23.976 Progressive
1280 × 720 16×9 50.00 Progressive
1280 × 720 16×9 59.94 ProgressiveMy thought was to export as 30p, then drop into AE and use Andrew Kramer’s (old) frame rate converter to convert to 23.976p. Then export that as 1280 × 720 16×9 23.976 Progressive.
Is that overkill? Is there a better method? Would upscaling give me a benefit in different frame rates?
I know I can change the framerate as well as field order right from Premiere Pro’s export settings, but then I would have to use frame blending which is really ugly.
Thank you!

Why don’t you render it out as 720/60p with frame blending turned off? That will give you a Blu-ray compatible file that just has two copies of each frame in a row. Wasteful, sure, but it’s that or frame rate conversion.

If you want 24p, you should shoot and edit 24p.
Bluray specs from a 720p/30p edit would be mpeg2 59.94 for the frame rate. Choose the bluray preset when exporting to AME.

Thank you John and Chris,
I suspected 60p (59.94) would be the way to go but I didn’t think I would be able to get good results directly out of Premiere Pro. So, if have to convert again in AE I thought 24p is closer than 60, hence my thought to convert to 24 in the end.
Directly to 60p sounds like a much easier solution. Thanks!
