rendering 24p footage for broadcast TV
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!
