Conforming 25 p videos with 50i videos for a documentary
 

Hola guys,
i was thinking what's the best bet to conform videos from a camera shot in 25 p with videos shot with a Sony hdv camera in 50 i.
What kind of problems could i encounter? I wanted to use the awesome dof of the 50mm lens with the rest of the videos shot with fx1 and z7.
Please help

thx a lot

Do you want to export interlaced or progressive?

The most of the videos is composed by hdv 1080 50 i clips......
there a re few inserts with hdslr files 25p.
So what would be the best choice?


thx

Disable smart RESAMPLE in clip properties on the 25p clips and see if that helps.

This is just what I would do.
If you make everything progressive you can maintain that right through to delivery, whether it be web or DVD.
So, easy way is to just have a progressive project and have 'Interpolate fields' selected in Properties. This will take care of any interlacing that occurs from your 50i footage.
A better way if you have time, is to drag all your interlaced footage into a Progressive project and select Interpolate fields. Then save this project as, (make up a name.)
Then drag that Veg file into another 25p project that is set to Progressive frames.

The benefit of this, is that you take care of your interlacing issues in the saved Veg, but you're not messing around with the interpolation (therefore degrading the quality) of your nice clean progressive footage.

Just a thought, wouldnt it be good if you could make a new media bin and apply your clip property choices to that Bin..... Maybe Vegas 11.
