720P60 23.98fps (960×720) > HD Layoff to tape 1920×1080 (59.94 fields / 29.97 fps)

hey Joey,

So i guess my question was more specific because i did do the nesting you mentioned in AE and but then i am not sure whether to touch any settings there or in the renderque to set it to lower fields and choose a cadence (wwsssw – or whatever).

thoughts?

I’m not an expert on this as I usually do this through other sources, but NTSC is lower field first. Cadence should be fine.

Hey Dave : )

I love your responses – they look so great (bullets) and are just awesome help. Just one problem – at this point we are working off of the converted 1080i fcp project – supers had been added and its the final version in my fcp timeline – i no longer have a 720p60 comp to work with – so it started as 720p60 was convrted to 1080i for hdcam sr layoff and now that same file that was layed off and shipped out needs to go to an SD DVD.

What should i do if i dont have the ability to dub from hdcam to digi and then ingest – if i have to use AE or FCP what is the best solution to get a dvd that doesn pot playback with jitteriness – which is my problem in the first place : )

best

Lisa

Hey there

This whole time i WAS talking about using the 1800i render from fcp – originally it was 720p60 like the beginning post explains but then the final piece was in fcp and had supers added by another editor and that final 1080 sequence in fcp is what was layed off to hdcam and dubbed to digi – both those tapoes went out last week and now all i have is the 1080i quicktime movie from fcp – the length is 2 mins btw

SO i just wanted exactly AE directions becuase i was not sure where / or when to make it lower fields or what not – and my big concern was that because it started at 23.976 720p60 footage and was then converted to 1080i 29.97 fps 59.94 fields there would be issues – i did a few different test in AE and each DVD i made had weird flickery on the dvd player playback to ntsc monitor – i posted again because i thought i did something wrong in AE and wanted to know the proper workflow.

thanks
Lisa

Hey there

so the work flow u described is what we first did and the end result when playing back the dvd on an ntsc monitor is that it looks weird – kinda jittery.

not sure what is going on but i would love to figure out what if anything i am doing wrong here : )

thanks so much for your time you rock sir!

I’m back.
Just curious, was your conversion to 1080i completely jitter free?
