FYI. This is info from one of my other TV users groups.
User 1: “The CBS Sunday Morning show requires 30p.”
“I also was required to shoot 30p for PBS News Hour a couple of months ago.”
“Yesterday I did a shoot for CNN en Español’s news magazine show and they asked me to shoot it in 30p.”
“I used to change my camera setting back and forth a lot more between 60i and 30p…but that stopped almost six months ago. Now I shoot everything in 30p unless otherwise requested. It’s one of my first questions when booking a shoot but the result so far is “leave it in 30p”
User 2: “My workflow is the same. Always have camera set at 30p and only change when the client request it at the beginning of the shoot.”
“Sometimes when I shoot sports or news they want 60i.”
