24P Question

[jstewart1701]

When shooting on the Panasonic HPX-170 can you tell the difference when footage was shot in 24A or 24P in the final product? I guess what I'm asking does it look any different.

Thanks

Depends on how you edit and export it. But for the most part, no.

you mention about hows it's edited can you give an example. Also on export lets say you down convert it and put it out on a sd DVD. Also if you put it out on Blu-Ray DVD

Thanks

If you shoot 24p standard instead of 24pA, on some editing systems, you will have major headaches editing the footage on a 24p timeline. You can edit as 29.97 easily, but then you won't be able to make a 24p file for DVD or Blu-Ray. As such, you can only make 29.97 files, which will be interlaced. On some screens, you will see interlace artifacts.

You'll also take up 20% more disc space.
