Camera settings for :30 with Avid MC 3.0
Hello,
I will be shooting a :30 spot on Saturday using an AG-HVX200A and editing on Avid Media Composer 3.0.
The spot will only air on cable and will be SD in 4:3 format. The delivery is going to be a mini-dv tape in DVCPRO or DVCPRO50 format.
I need to know what setting to work with for the camera and the Avid.
I think 720p is the way to go, and since it is not going to film, should I shoot at 30P instead of 24P?
As far as the Avid goes, if I shoot at 30P, the settings look like it will be 720P/30PN. My concern, according to Avid’s specs, is that the resolution will be DVCPRO HD (100). I am not sure if this will work…
Any advice on this will be appreciated.
I really want the best quality possible, based the above specs…
Thanks,
Jim -

The camera will shoot DVCPro 50. If that’s the delievry format why not just shoot that. Then you avoid having to convert HD to SD. I know the camera will record DVCPro 50 to a P2 card, but I don’t know if it will record it to tape.
