What is the workflow converting 1080i 24p to true progressive 1080 24p
-
Thanks for getting back to me quickly Shane.
I won’t be dealing with any of the post work myself as I am just freelancer shooting a portion of this project. It is a set of interviews that are shot with different shooters.
The rest of the footage for the show was shot on an xd cam (a 350 I think) at 23.97fs.
I just want to make sure it matches up (both scanning and frame rate) to the xd cam so the editor won’t have any issues in the cutting room.
I think if I just shoot in 1080i 24pa it would be okay, right?
Sorry I’m not too familiar with workflows on the back end.
Would it be better to shoot in 720 so it will be true progressive… will the quality be an issue compared to the xd sony 350 -
Well, there will be lots of issues getting to to work with the Sony. One being that the Panasonic shoots 1280×1080…a sort of SUPER anamorphic format…where the XDCAM might shoot 1440×1080 normal anamorphic, or might shoot full raster 1920×1080.
But, do what the client wants. Shoot 1080i 24pA, and inform them that your camera shoots a format that needs to have the pulldown removed in post, and if they use FCP, it happens when ingesting it. That is your best option for shooting 1080 23.98.

One more thing shane…
If I record to 1080 24p or pa will it still be 100mbs -
Yes. DVCPRO HD is a 100mbs format. It will become slightly less when they remove the pulldown, only because frames are being removed…30 to 24. It’s a tricky thing. But DVCPRO HD is also known as DVCPRO 100…100mbps.

Sounds good, thanks.

One more question Shane if I may.
If I want the flatter image so they can do color correction, is the cinema v setting the best option for the hvx… -
Now you are in territory I don’t know about. I’m an editor, not a camera guy. I disguise myself as one on occasion, but I’m not an advanced one.

No worries, I just figured you would know because you’re very knowledgable. Thanks.
