  rendering 24p in HD?

  Posted by Robbie Gould on March 5, 2008 at 4:12 pm

  Okay, wizards, I’ve got one for you now….

  … so I have a feature-length doc project that I shot in HDV and cut in HDV in Vegas. (I used whatever codec is set to default when you ingest footage in Vegas.)

  Up to now i have only rendered this project as a standard-def DV file. Whenever I do that, I use the option for 24p DV using the 2-3-3-2 pulldown. I’ve put these files onto DVD and also had it layed-off to DigiBeta.

  Now, however, I may have to put it onto HDCam soon, so I obviously want to render it as the best-quality file given that I shot it in HDV.

  So first, (1) what file format should I render it to? It it just “uncompressed”, or YUV, or what? I really haven’t bothered to research this yet, as you can tell.

  and (2), when I render it to that file, can I use the same option for 2-3-3-2 pulldown to make it look 24p? This is an absolute dealbreaker for me because I hate the look of interlaced video.

  I messed around a bit before with the YUV files and uncompressed, but I could never see an option for 24p. Also, I’d rather not have to render the file first then run it through some kind of Magic Bullet or something to get it to look 24p… I’d want it to be 24p from the first rendering.

  Any advice, gentlemen? Your guidance has always proven helpful to me.

  Best,
  R Gould
