Hello. Question to the masses (PP users) on what you would do in my situation. I already have an answer in my head, but feel free to second guess me.
I'm taking on a bit of a legacy project for lack of a better term. I now work with a non-profit health organization that is building an HIV clinic in Zimbabwe (among many, many other things). In the recent past, (lets' say 2012) the team has shot their own footage/interviews/broll in 30p from IMO a fairly decent Canon prosumer camcorder.
I've jumped in as their full time video shooter & editor. Playing it safe, I've already shot a weeks worth of footage in 30p about a month ago to match existing. I'm here now and ready to start another few weeks of filming.
If this were a fresh project, I would choose 24p. (it's going to be mostly news/docu style filming) But I would think from experience, mixing 24p and 30p footage on one timeline would be havoc. (keeping in mind there will most definitely be legacy b-roll shots and/or interviews coming back into play) There has been talk about making this into some kind of documentary feature down the road, but we will cross that road when we get to it! Right now, the primary goal is to cut 4-5 minute videos for youtube, social media, etc.
I'm on CS6 with a definite possibility to be upgrading to CC. Any new developments in mixing frame rates that might make my life potentially easier? I should stick to 30p, right? haha.
