Re: P vs PsF standard

Magic Bullet is really to de-interlace interlaced-scan footage so you can work with whole frames in post or create a pseudo-progressive scan look. But the final product would still end up being stored as two fields on tape in standard def (NTSC or PAL) for playback on a TV set, unless you looked at the footage on a computer screen or from a DVD, since DVD's can store progressive-scan material and then break them into fields, add pulldown, etc. as necessary for playback on an interlaced-scan TV set.

I guess for material shot in 30P that was recorded to 60i, in post you'd have the option of editing it as 60i or 30P depending on your software and how you input the material, etc. but don't ask me for the details -- I'm just a shooter, not an editor. But if you went back out to tape for playback as NTSC, it would have to be stored as 60i again. I guess if you sent it out to DVD, you could leave it 30P. But others here understand this stuff better than me!
