Mixing 720p60 and 720p24 on a timeline

[Shane Ross]

What do you have more of? What is your delivery requirement in terms of frame rate? I have had good luck with 720p60 on a 720p24 (DVCPRO HD) timeline with the use of the Nattress Standards Converter. But my delivery was a 23.98 master. 23.98 to 60… That won’t look right. You’ll have to use Compressor to convert that properly…

My final delivery is web (so that’s 30 right) but there is a chance it is moved to our network and that’s 60i right? The issue is that my producer wants the 24 look but didn’t tell the first crew that information so now I have both!

Web is anything from like 10fps to 60fps. Whatever you encode to. Less FPS means smaller file, so people at times go small. 24fps would be the way I’d go here then.

That’s 29.97fps… 60i means INTERLACED, but you can output progressive too. As long as you have a capture card (AJA, DECKLINK, MATROX) then it will add the proper pulldown from 23.98 to get you to good 29.97.

Fire them. Or scold them. Wait, they hire you. Gently remind them that information like that is VITAL to successful post production.

Wait a sec… forgive my ignorance but you’re saying HD broadcast is running at 29.97?

HD Broadcast runs at 60i, or 60 interlaced fields per second. In terms of FPS, it is 29.97.
