Re: editing 24p, 24p adv, and 60i footage

[CaptainMench] "WHY on earth would you EVER want to film with 24 ANYTHING if you are 99% sure you won't go to film or DVD??!!! That's just silly. 24p is a film LOOK that serves NO purpose at all to what you can accomplish with 30 frames per second."

??? Are you serious? Footage shot at 24 has a completely different look than footage shot at 30. Doesn't matter if it's converted to 60i via pulldown and brodcast on TV. It still has a completely distinct cinematic look, whereas stuff shot at 30fps looks more like sitcom/soap opera.

[CaptainMench] "Shoot 30p only because we edit for the 100 people who have the most expensive sets and who won't want to see any interlacing on their TVs or they'll call their cable provider and then that cable exec will call me and it's all down hill.""

That's why its always better to capture and edit 24p footage at 24p (23.98). You're probably getting calls like that because of your previous statement. People have been editing pulldown footage w/o regard to cadence since the advent of digital video editing. Myself included. But as of the past couple years, progressive displays are the norm for consumers. So you will get calls like that and that's why I think its important for people to change their workflow standards when working with 24fps material. Capturing and editing 23.98 footage at 23.98 is the simplest solution.
