Web Video Workflow
I’m getting the hang of most of this stuff. I want to be sure I’m shooting and editing in the best way for training videos and such that will be shown strictly on web and in classroom settings.
I’ve been shooting in “DV” (the other option on my Sony HDR-HC1 is 1080i) and editing in PPro in “DV NTSC”. Same with AE comps.
Do you folks suggest editing in 720p to avoid scanlines or interlacing fields or whatever(sorry if that’s the wrong term). Or would you even suggest shooting in HDV even though it will be compressed.
Also, wich environment do you like in PPro. I only used the one setting (DV-NTSC Standard). There’s the others but I don’t know what HD-SDI, HDV, SD-SDI mean.
Whatever is the best for web is probably going to be my favorite.
I have a pretty beefy system so when needed I can handle the files. I’ve done a couple of projects in which I inadvertantly mixed file types and got some strange results, ranging from black at the edge of the screen (not a big deal) to posterizing and flickering.
Thanks for your thoughts -

If your training videos have a long shelf life (several years), I would shoot in HD 1080 and down convert to SD in the camera and capture as DV and edit in a DV-NTSC project. Later you could recapture as HD and export a higher res version.
Deinterlacing is done on export in Adobe Media Encoder.
