Hi all - mine is coming Thursday, and I've just started to experiment with the workflow. I think the wildcard is going to be the 24F settings, especially if I want to combine it with 60i material. Perhaps this is a no no overall, but I can see wanting to use nice 'filmic' 24F clips, and then going to 'hyper-real' 60i clips as well. Wouldn't mind knowing various opinions/options on format combinations.
I currently have Edius 3.6+ which touts the necessary presets for the Canon camera. The 24F clips look nice in a 1440x1080 24p setting - a bit strobey on motion, but I figured that was an issue of pull-down, no-pull-down, my general ignorance of the two - plus any 24F stipulations, my monitor, or maybe it's all good. Putting a 1080 60i clip works on that timeline as well, but you lose the 60i hyper feel (expected of course on a 24 progressive timeline - which still gives a nice 'filmic' look). A 1440x1080 30p setting may be just between on 24F & 60i clips. A 1440x1080 60i project looks incredible on the 60i, and pretty good on the 24F as I recall. It may lend to some trailing/ghosting/strobing - I can't recall. A nice thing about Edius is that it will play just about any kind of clip you stick in there (including 25 frame PAL stuff). Unfortunately for my current workflow study - I kind of wish it wouldn't. Some lend to strobing, so I need to finalize my understanding of making clips conform/scale, etc.
So - I'll be looking to experiment some more A final wildcard is that I also have the HD100, by which I may want to stick some 1280 24p/30p clips in there. That would really throw a wrench into it.
I'm just wondering if I should pre-conform any 24P/24F material, scale other clips, or expect that I can just drop these various formats in on a recommended project setting timeline and just go for it. A lot of new environments to play with these days - thought someone might have a general workflow suggestion. I'm sure the best suggestion is to stay with one format for the project, and go with that...
I expect I'll be shooting a lot of events as 1080 60i, so I'm set for that. It's the frame size/rate add-ons that might keep me honest.
Sorry for the babble/length, and thanks,
Shawn
