Re: [Avid-L2] Sony Z7U workflow advice

Looking at this from PAL-land, why does your shooter want to use 1080-24 if (I imagine) it won't be broadcast at 24fps? However you shoot, I'd convert to something other than HDV for the edit.

I know i really don't understand how the HDV format works, but is it all recorded at 30fps 1080 on the tape, regardless of what frame rate is shot? If someone could simply explain how HDV actually records these different frame rates, i would love it.

For the online i would preform an expert decompose, but what project would i be in for the final master? Would it be 1080i, 59.94? I have noticed that the only way to get a 1440x1080 raster is to be in a 1080i, 59.94 project in MC.
