Re: [Avid-L2] 29.97 and HD / RANT

Spot on, Mark: "If you're shooting at 29.97, it is for a 'live' look, otherwise, it would behoove you to shoot 23.976p because it holds up better for broadcast and streaming and web and everywhere else."

Whenever a director contacts me about a project, I bring up shooting specs. The way I put it (to make it as scary as possible): Please shoot at 23.98 unless you want your footage to look like a soap opera. They never do. (The next issue that comes up is about shooting in log, but that's another rant.)

Wilson's advice to record "in the field as DNxHD 145," thereby avoiding all transcoding, is an interesting idea and useful for his workflow, but having to transcode footage is not in my list of "Top Ten Things Shooters Do That Create Headaches in Post."
