Need sequence setting guidance

Posted by Roli Rivelino on January 25, 2010 at 4:28 pm

I record clips on my Panasonic HVX onto my FS-100, my camera is set to video cam and I’m recording at 720p 25 on my FS-100 I’m set to DVCPRO.

So what I’m wondering is, why my QT compressor settings, inside my sequence settings are set to DVCPRO HD 720p50 and why I see 50 frames in a second instead of 25?

I know this is really basic stuff, but I wasn’t paying attention earlier!

Many thanks for your help.

720p is a 50 frame (or 60 frame in NTSC land) format. Unless you chose 25pN, your footage will be 50 frames per second.

aha I see, thanks Shane, is there any advantage/disadvantage using 720p over PN?

Saves space. Allows for you to shoot great slow motion at 720p60. And if you deliver DVDs, or masters that are 23.98 than it is great. And having a Capture card that will add the proper pulldown when you output helps with the conversion too.
