Breaking down 24p Barney style
-
24p or 24p advanced?? 24p has much less temporal resolution than 60i or 50i, but it can be as smooth and good looking as a Hollywood movie.

Okay thanks, Chris. Doesn’t sound too promising, does it?

Graeme,
And just how do you make 24p smooth?
-
It’s all about limiting fast action and keeping camera moves slow. If you shoot 24p exactly how you’d shoot 24fps film, the end smoothness of the video will be the same.

Graeme,
In my career I have shot 35mm and 16mm at 24 fps a jillion times. I never, ever got the kind of objectional stutter like I get on my Panny.

Chris, which mode are you shooting in? 24p or 24pA? Assuming the shutter speed is set to the correct value for 24p (that’s 1/48th is it?) there’s absolutely no reason why you should get any objectionable stuttering. 24p does exactly that, just 24 frames per second with a standard 3:2 pulldown to get to NTSC rate, just like any movie is transferred to video. 24pA does a different pulldown cadence that’s designed not for smooth viewing, but for removal so you can edit in a 23.98fps timeline. If you’ve shot 24pA I can well believe it stutters badly. Chris, you know your stuff, so I hope I’m not coming across badly here, but I’m at a loss to see why it’s stuttering. There’s always the possibility of field ordering issues, but that should not be an issue with a DV workflow. Any ideas?? Any chance of sending me some footage to look at?
Thanks,
Graeme

Hey Graeme,
No sweat, I will do some more tests and send you some if it makes sense after I see what’s what.
Thanks for the info.
