DVX100, FS4, Premiere Pro CS3, Matrox RT.x2

[EDJI]

Hi,
I am very confuse with all the setting in Premiere Pro with the RT.x2.

I don't know if someone will be able to help me.

I use a DVX100 with a FS-4 Pro and the editing is done on Premiere Pro CS3 with a RT.x2.

When I was using the RT.x100, I add no problem. I use to shoot in NTSC 29,97 and use the setting NTSC->DV->29,97 in Premiere Pro.

Now in Premiere PRO CS3 and with the RT.x2 we have a lot more project setting.
- Matrox SD->486p->Standard->23,98fps->DV
- Matrox SD->486p->Standard->29,97fps->DV
- Matrox SD->NTSC->Standard->DV

I understand that if I continue to record in NSTC 29,97 I will use the NTSC->Standard->DV project setting.

But, because my videos goes on the internet I want to shoot progressive and edit in progressive...

1- If I put my DVX100 in 30p and record in AVI Type 2 with the FS-4 Pro. The footage will be record in 29,97fps. So, is it ok to use the 486p->Standard->29,97fps->DV setting ? And for the final export, should I use 29,97fps or 30, progressive or interlace ?

2- If I put my DVX100 in 24p and record in AVI Type 2 with the FS-4 Pro. The footage will be record in 29,97fps (I think). So, which setting I have to choose, 486p->Standard->29,97fps->DV or 486p->Standard->23,97fps->DV ? And for the final export, I choose 24fps or 29,97 interlace ? I made some test with those two project setting by I have lot of scan lines... I shoot in 24p... where those scan line come from ? I tried to use the AVI Type 2 24p setting of the FS-4 pro but I get much more scan lines... AVI Type 2 24p is only for 24pa.

3- If I put my DVX100 in 24pa, I record in AVI type 2 24p on the FS-4 Pro. the setting 486p->Standard->23,97fps->DV seems to work well.

I want to know if someone have some answer...

Personally, I will use the 30p setting of the camera. So the question 1 is the most important to me...

Thanks a lot.

HI EDJI,

For question number 1, yes you should use a 486P 29.97 preset. If your final output is for the the web you will want to keep the export progressive. You can export from within Premere using Matrox Media export to formats such as wmv for the web.

For your second question whatever format you set the camera to record in you should also set the editng mode to. If you set the camera to record at 23.98 then you shuould choose a matrox 486P 23.98 preset.

I'm not sure why you are getting all those scan lines when shooting regular 24p but if 24pa seems to work well in a 486 23.98 project I would continue using this format.

Best Regards,

Chris.
