Premiere Pro 24Hz/60Hz preset question

[John Froton]

This is open for anyone to answer, but I aim this question at Barry because I think he is knowledgeable in this area :)

Is there any functional difference between a 24p preset for DVCPro HD being set at 60Hz and a 24p preset for DVCPro HD being set at 24Hz?

Premiere Pro CS3 only has the option for 60Hz where I notice that Edius Broadcast is set at 24Hz.

My guess is that it would not make a difference when exporting content out to a 60Hz NTSC format. However, I wonder if judder or artifacts could arise in the 60Hz timeline that would cause possible issues not found on the 24Hz timeline when using native footage from the HVX200.

Is this something that Premiere Pro users should be concerned about? Should we request the ability to edit in a 24Hz mode?

Thanks for any advice.

I installed the new Premiere CS3 patch the other day. I shoot primarily 720/24p for the economy. Premiere handles it effortlessly (or perhaps I should say, "so far so good").

Don't know if I'm answering your question or not but the same 720/24pn clips I am able to cut in Edius Broadcast work without issue in the P2-aware Premiere CS3.

I'd like to help but I don't know yet. I've got CS3 here but haven't installed it, and likely won't delve into it for a few more weeks. Hopefully some CS3 experts will weigh in and answer for you.
