Shooting with 2 different cameras – Resolution & FPS
I’m going on a shoot with a T1i and T3i. Wondering which resolution and fps I should shoot in.
Options:
T1i – 1920 @ 20fps or 1280 @ 30fps
T3i – 1920 @ 30fps or 1920 @ 24fps or 1280 @60fpsAny ideas on which would be the best option so that my video looks as close a match as possible? I will be filming a workshop at a resort with many interviews.
Thanks!

Keep the frame rate similar, no matter what. If you’re happy with 720p, then shoot both at 720p30.

Agreed, matching different frame rates to look the same is nearly impossible if not impossible due to motion resolution, and other factors in the image. Always match frame rates as well as progressive/interlace. So in this case, 30p (29.97) will be the way to go. Work in a 720p project as it will be easier to make 1920 look like 720 than the other way around, but depending on delivery (size – YouTube, broadcast, etc.) you may not notice the difference at all.

Thank you both! That’s what I thought but wanted to make sure!
