I came across this thread doing research on this camera, because we’ll be shooting a project with it this weekend. This is also the first time I’ll be shooting something that’s NOT 23.976.
I notice in the manual it states:
“For output and recording, the 30-frame-per-seoncd signal is converted to 60-field-per-second interlace. This mode gives you high quality images.”
The signal specs also state:
“1080/60i, 1080/30p (over 60i), 1080/24p (native), 720/60p, 720/30p (over 60p), 720/24p (native)”
First of all, why would they do this (30p is actually 60i)? I don’t want interlaced footage; I want progressive. Second of all, I assume this is perhaps the reason the original poster is seeing 59.94 instead of 29.97.
If the footage is interlaced, I can’t easily toss out the second field of this 60i footage (without de-interlacing and losing resolution), so it seems I’m stuck with interlaced looking footage (60i) whether I like it or not. Is this true?
Thanks to anyone with answers.

Hoping to bump this thread for an answer to the last question. I’m getting ready to do a multi-camera (multi-operator) shoot, and would like to know how best to tackle (in the edit) the fact that some of us will be shooting 1080p and others 1080i.
Thanks!

Neither 5 nor 5.5 existed when any of these posts were made. I assume the whole thread is about CS4.

Eric’s answer isn’t really a very “safe” answer. Even if all PAL players could play NTSC, it doesn’t really address the initial question.
For instance… we need to send a PAL BluRay to Finland for a festival there. They have specifically requested PAL (25fps). If we sent them NTSC (23.976), they would have issues playing and projecting the media.
Adobe Media Creator has pre-sets for all kinds of PAL output. I would start with using h.264 BluRay with a PAL selection from the drop-down to render your file, then create a PAL BluRay in Encore.

Hilarious. To try and avoid converting from the huge uncompressed HD file, I just tried setting up a timeline in Premiere to export an MPEG-DVD file from my BluRay render (h264BluRay), and Adobe Media Encoder is telling me the export will take more than 112 hours.
There doesn’t seem to be any quick way to get from HD to SD via AME.

Hi, Uros. I’m not sure exactly what the question is regarding space.
I will say, “real” RAID (dedicated hardware driven RAID) is much better than the software RAID you can achieve via the system BIOS. If you can afford a dedicated RAID card, I would highly suggest going this route instead of using the MOBO’s software RAID.

If this is true, then it is unacceptable. Adobe must allow the user control over “frame blending.” If you’ve disabled frame blending in your project time line, you obviously don’t want it active, so don’t let AME RE-enable it!
I am rendering a 102 minute feature with only two clips on the timeline, the original footage and a “title” clip overlay for a watermark copyright burn-in (thus the XML data shouldn’t be the issue -there are only two clips).
Rendering to MPEG-DVD out of Premiere using Adobe Media Encoder takes more than 42 hours. If I import the project into Adobe After Effects and render via the render cue, it takes less than 3 hours using the same MPEG-DVD settings.
Though I’m not entirely convinced it’s the issue, “frame blending” does seem like a good culprit for my problem, as the original uncompressed footage is 23.976 and the target footage is 29.97. If I enable frame blending in the Premiere timeline (enable it on the title clip), it doesn’t seem to make any difference from a render where the frame blending is disabled; this would seem to indicate that frame blending is occurring whether I enable it or not.

As others have suggested, the program and OS should go on the C:/ drive (especially if you’re utilizing an SSD for your system drive). However, be sure to select the RAID0 for your scratch drive in any Adobe application (Premiere, Photoshop, etc.) when setting up your projects and preferences.

Hmmm. Not sure what you mean by direct export vs. render cue from Premiere. To my knowledge the only way to export out of Premiere is via Adobe Media Encoder. Please do let me know if I’ve overlooked something.
No filters involved. There is just a single clip linked to the uncompressed footage on the timeline (which makes the 42 hour render out of Premiere just ridiculously painful).

Correct, Vince. This is why I’m posting. AE should take much longer, but instead it will burn my MPEG-DVD file in 3 hours to Adobe Media’s 42 hours. AE is incredibly faster.
So, what’s up with this situation, and is there anywhere you can access how Adobe Media utilizes systems resources (RAM, CPU’s, etc.) like you can in After Effects?
