Mixing 24p, 30p and 60i footage in same project?
I’m thinking about getting a DVX100b and am confused about the ability I’d have using PPro 1.5 to edit footage together from the various modes within one project.
The presets for projects in PPro 1.5 seem exclusive–EITHER 24p OR 29.97. So if for example I wanted to shoot some interviews in 24p so it’d have that filmic look, and then shoot some b roll with faster motion stuff in 60i or 30p, what preset would I select to preserve the look of both? Or is it just not possible to mix footage shot in different modes within the same project?
Also, any help on what other settings need to be changed wd be very helpful. Thanks a lot-

I am very interested to find out how this thread goes because I asked a similar question and am wondering the same thing. There has got to be a way.

Well, you could try importing the footage into the project and see what the results look like. However, Premiere Pro 1.5 has an issue with handling 24p files. Check out the Adobe forums for what exactly the issue is.

In PPro 1.5, I’ve mixed 24P footage with 60i footage, and the results are mixed. It seems that 1.5 doesn’t like to mix the two on the same time line. If you set up your timeline for 29.97, then add 24P footage, it will want to render the 24P footage as soon as drop it on the timeline, resulting in jerky playback for that footage. If I recall correctly, the reverse holds true as well – 24P timeline with 29.97 footage results in 29.97 footage not playing correctly.
The funny thing is, if you burn a DVD right from the timeline, it will all play just fine on the resulting DVD. But if you need to roll it off to tape, the 24P footage will be jerky.
I haven’t used 30P footage, so I can’t comment on how PPro would respond. PPro 2.0 is supposed to be able to handle both formats on the same timeline with no problems.
