  • rendering 24p footage for broadcast TV

    Posted by Heather Walters on December 21, 2009 at 6:20 pm

    I have a project with footage that was shot in 1920×1080 24p and I am making a TV commercial. Production says I can do either full D1 mpeg or I can deliver an m2t (so I figure I’ll go for the 1080i60 render instead of 480i). Unfortunately, as we only so far have done commercials for internet and high def flat screens I have no CRT to test with (and I have ZERO experience with regular broadcast). In my project settings, I have set pixel aspect ratio to both square, and to NTSC DV. No interlacing on computer in the first, and obvious interlacing in the latter on computer. Since I have nothing to test on, should that interlacing go away on SD TVs if I use the NTSC DV setting? I am getting thoroughly confused on settings I should use for taking high def progressive footage and manipulating it for broadcast rendering. Can anyone here tell me if I’m doing it wrong, or maybe suggest a workflow from project settings to render settings? Thanks for any help!

    I should also mention that in preferences I unchecked the box for “allow pulldown removal when opening 24p DV” because I read somewhere about the importance of doing that; in my render settings I chose mpeg-2, with HDV 1080i60, in custom settings, bumped quality all the way up. I didn’t mess with the PAR in the custom render dialogue, left it at 16:9.
    And I should mention that I am totally confused about if I’m supposed to do pulldown in my render from 23.97 to 29.97, or how to do it if I need to in this program, and generally the entire topic of pulldown altogether. I’m a right noob.

    Hello friend, i hope you can help me !¡

    you’ll see, im buying myself whether a 3.0 ghz or a 2.8 ghz cpu

    it’s the 4core “phenom II x4 945” or the “phenom II x4 925”

    what is spinning on my mind is the fact on the 0.2 ghz of diference
    when im encoding or rendering a video…

    I cant find the 3.0 ghz one on sale around here, and i wonder if i will notice a real diference in the taken time.

    and, what about ram.. im getting 4gb.. should i get the 800, 1066 or 1200 bus ?

    Thank you in advance for your attencion !!
