Hey folks. I'm still shooting on my HVX200 workhorse and I've recently switched to 1080i/24P. I've been shooting some B-roll clips and when I review the clips in Quicktime, I'm getting that horizontal striping or Venetian-blind look on 2 of every 5 frames of raw footage, which is really noticeable especially with movement. I've read Barry Green's HVX book and I understand the interlacing and why that happens, but I'm hoping some of you can clarify a few details.
1) Am I supposed to bring each of these clips into Final Cut and use pull down to eliminate this, or is this the nature of 24P and this will always remain?
2) When I watch these clips in QT, does QT recognize that they're 24 FPS and play them back at 24 FPS? Or does 24P have to be somehow played back at 24 FPS to look clean?
3) Will this issue appear on videos I post on the Internet or burn to DVDs?
4) I've downloaded stock clips from the Internet that were shot at 1080i/24P and they did not have this issue. Why is that?
5) And finally, if by chance, any of these clips ever end-up in a TV ad, will there be an issue with broadcast being 60 FPS? Is it just better to stick with 30 FPS?
I've always shot at 720/24P or 1080/30P, so I've never dealt with this interlacing issue. Thanks for your knowledge and advice.
