I want to use my d90 footage (24fps) in Pal land.

Final desitnation is DVD.

What workflow / project settings should i use.

Do i need to convert footage or speedup etc etc.?

Up to now ive been mixing 24p footage with xha1 stuff on a 25f timeline.
I know theres been a speed issue but didnt really notice it.

Now i want to use solely d90 footage (and possibly d300s footage in the near future).

Thanks in advance.

Cs3 by the way
 
I have the same issue, amongst others.

I heard that often 24p is played back at 25fps with proper adjustment (speed/pitch). I dunno about this, but it's all I ever hear when I ask your question.

Also, how do you manage to film with your D90 in artificial light without flicker? I'm dyin here.

Yea but i dont want to have to do any of that crap.
Its all fine if your doing it once in a blue moon but with the amount of work i find myself under i could do without the headache of converting, changin speed etc.
Theyre killin us here in pal land.

i dont seem to have too much trouble on the artificial light issue. Sure the problem exists but its not hard to work around.
Unlock the exposure lock and point the camera into and out of a dark area. Towards and away from the troublesome lights works too. Do it slowly and the instant the horizontal banding dissapears - lock it
Works for me.
 
thats certainly good news David as is not looking like either Nikon or canon give a rats a*# about us here.

Im wondering about project setup etc in Premier.

DV 24? and if so do i size down he 720p clips individually and what should i output to - Mpeg2 etc etc?

Maybe Ill have to test it all myself but if anyone could save me the hassle Id appreciate it.
 
Set up your timeline to match your footage. For output, you have a number of options; you can output as MPEG-2, as you say, or you can use Dynamic Link to open your Premiere Project in Encore and have Encore do the DVD encoding.

The only caveat I would give is that SD widescreen is a tiny bit wider than HD widescreen, so you may see some thin black bars on the sides of your footage once you go to DVD -- but not if you're watching on a TV that has any kind of overscan, and most likely, it won't be too noticeable on most computer players, either, because they tend to have a black frame around the image anyway.

But if you really want to get rid of it, you can open your main sequence in a 24p DV sequence and then zoom in slightly to get of them.
 
Ive seen what you are talking about before but didnt know why it was like that.
Thanks for the explanation.
But for what I do i rekon i wont need to worry about it. :)
