Thanks John for taking the time to respond to my post. Another question for you. What would be the benefits of shooting say an interview at 720 60p? From watching dateline or 60 Minute interviews it appears that they are shot in a progressive frame rate. It would seem to me that by shooting something at 30fps it would be more ‘broadcast friendly’ and take to SD easier. Is 30fps a common use for such an application?

Thanks John!

Thanks David,

What sparked this question for me is I receive press junket footage in 720 60p and was wondering what the benefit was to that format. I was also confused as to why I could take that 60p timeline and drop it in a SD 29.97 seq without any playback issues (using Avid Media Comp). Does Avid pullout the excessive frames in order to conform to that timeline? Second question you mentioned you prefer 24p, that 30p gives you too much jitter. In experimenting on my own, I’ve noticed 24p gives me just as much jitter if not more. Is there something I am not doing properly?

Thanks for sharing Enrique, the overcranking looks clean.

Thanks for taking the time to help out Don. It will be interesting to see if anyone else has any thoughts on this.

[Aaron Nowakowski]

So then what is physically happening when you over or undercrank? I always understood that as changing the amount of frames per second?

Thank you for the help Don!

Thanks guys for the input. Extremely helpful. I will be sure to send you a link to the final product, if I can pull it off.

Thanks,
Aaron

Follow-up question. Do I render the clip out at its native size of 960X720 or do I render it at 1280 X 720?

Thanks again,
A
