Best way to export a 1080p 25fps project for US festival Viewing.

Thanks Chris for all the help again. I shall do my master to DNxHD (i found the correct bit rate setting etc and did a few tests and exported it progressive, 25fps to match my source and it all looked good).

Only issue was with the second part of the workflow you suggested. When I imported my new DNxHD footage into a new sequence set to 1080i 60i/30fps the footage looked very blocky and rubbish even when i rendered it. Another time the duration became shorter and everything was sped up :S Am i doing something wrong or is there a final trick ive missed out in order to then export my dnxhd footage to a ntsc blu ray 1080i 30fps file for blu ray authoring?

maybe try a small section and just encode it directly with media encoder.
25 to 29.97 without using premiere.

if that works, export the entire sequence and convert it that way.

By far the best way to convert 25p to 24p is playing the entire feature 4% slow, keeping your “real” frames and also pitch-correcting the audio for this slow-down. The only negative side is that the length of the movie is extended.

Hey so just to confirm if i do burn a blu ray ntsc at 29.97 that should work fine in us blu ray players right? Would you recommend encore?

Hi guys so ive managed to export my entire project as a 30fps interlaced project now, and made a blu ray folder in adobe. However when i watch the footage any time anyone moves it all looks very interlacey/blurred lines. Is this because I am watching it in London, will it look ok on a tv in the usa?

I heard progressive 25fps progressive to 30fps interlaced would be ok?
