I have a shoot coming up and I've been doing some tests. However, I can't seem to figure out what frame rate to shoot at. I will be editing on an Avid Symphony Nitris. I want to shoot HD (preferably 720 to save hard drive space) and have a "film look" (24p). The final project will be seen in SD so I need to be able to down convert it to SD. My question is do I shoot 720/24P or 720/24pn and also what project do I create in the avid that will allow me to edit the material and do a down convert to SD? This is what I've tried so far that didn't work.
Camera: 720/24pn & Avid Project: 1080/23.97 - This allows me to play the footage and do a down convert, but I get no audio. The avid gives me an error message about the audio (Audio:
MM_Insufficient Media Player version of duration is longer than actual.
Camera: 720/24p & Avid Project: 720/23.97 - This allows me to play video, but I can't play audio and I can't downconvert to SD.
Camera: 720/24p & Avid Project 1080/59.94 - Can't play video or audio because frame rate is not compatible.
Camera: 720/24p & Avid Project 1080p/24 - Can't play video or audio because frame rate is not compatible.
Camera: 720/24p & Avid Project 720/59.94 - Can play video and audio, but can't down convert to SD.
Camera: 1080/24p & Avid Project : 1080/59.94 - This allows me to play video, play audio and downconvert. However, it has less of a film look than footage in an Avid 24p project.
Any advice or links would be appreciated. I have searched the posts and almost the entire internet for solutions.
Thanks
