Thanks John. Should the “final step render” to 24p be “2-3” or “2-3-3-2”.

The reason I did not shoot in HD was that my editing system can not handle HD editing. I’ve got a 3.37GHz processor with 3.25Gig of Ram – which is nice for standard video, but the HD files were choking the machine. I did see that you can shoot in HD and down convert or work/edit with the SD files giving you better quality, but I didn’t want to risk another learning curve with an impending deadline. I was just sticking with what I knew.

As for the “film” look…I’m reading as much as I can on forums such as this to get there too…thanks again for the help.
