It is very difficult to give you any kind of advice if you cannot show us your problem… we need to see an actual clip in order to form an opinion… if you can’t then maybe your best way out is to hire someone who can help you to get the most out of it…
Good luck,

I would also refine your workflow: you should choose a lossless intermediate codec for all your high processing work on your footage. It is much less power intensive to work on a frame basis (intra-frame codec) than to work with Long GOP footage (inter-frame codec) Working directly with MPEG footage will impact how fast your cpu is capable of processing your frames.
To find your best workflow, run a small test on 30″ or 1 min. timeline, from start to finish, and keep track of the time it takes for your computer to do it.
If you are on a mac, I would choose Apple ProRes codec as your intermediary codec.
Your workflow might look that way:
Original footage -> apply FX -> render to ProRes -> ProRes to your master format
or
Original footage -> transcode to ProRes -> apply FX -> render to ProRes -> ProRes to your master formatOther than your workflow, they are many other parameters that might slow down your rendering. You will need to give us a more detail description of your system setup to figure it out. For example is your footage on the same drive than your output? if it is the case you may want to consider having your footage on a fast internal hard drive and output to a RAID array drives…

Did you also create a clean plate without the car you want to remove in your clip? You can do it in Photoshop and feed that frame to the remove module. Once you have done this, you should be in good shape!
Best,

I would say your option #1, unless you have fast action and then option #2 might make more sense. Do all your compositing work in progressive and then export interlaced.

Is your compositing synced to some audio? if not I would create a new comp at 25fps and drop your 30fps comp into it. Depending on the nature of your footage (fast action, still, etc…) I would use a plugin like Twixtor to have better control over your frame rate conversion. Again it might not be necessary in your case.

[Krystle Patino-Serrano] “They said they do use blu Rays so now what?”
…you need to create a blu-ray;-)
If you want to do it yourself, you need a blu-ray burner, an authoring software (i.e: Adobe Encore) and some blu-ray media.
Good luck,

US DVD format is 720×480… so no matter you look at it, you will show your HD video not the best way! If you are concerned about the quality of your showing, I would inquire at least if the movie theater can play a blu-ray instead of a DVD.

I am curious: where do you intend to play your movie with your “custom frame rate”. I believe most player out there will require a standard frame rate (23.976, 24, 25, 29.97, 30fps etc…) so I believe you will have to conform your clip to whatever standard you want to use… unless you are working on a custom application?
