If you shot in 720/24pN mode, at 60fps, then it will play back exactly as you describe.
Hi Barry,
I've been meaning to ask a question about this. What's the difference between setting up the camera like you describe versus using Panasonic's frame rate convertor? I'm guessing that doing it in the camera is faster but less flexible. I'm hoping this is a subject you'll cover in your book; can't wait for it!

Doing it in-camera is faster and less hassle and saves space on the recording card.
Doing it in post is do-able if you're using FCP; not so do-able if you're using another editor (is there a frame rate converter even available for other platforms?)
You could do it in EDIUS by "capturing" the footage via firewire; don't know if Avid supports doing that.
I believe Raylight will strip out duplicate frames and conform footage, so that would let you do it in post...
Don't know if CineForm does.
In short, do it in-camera. The overwhelming advantage of doing it in-camera is that you can preview the effect immediately, and know that you got the shot the way you wanted it.

Thanks Barry; that makes a lot of sense.
If you do it in camera, you can't then choose a different frame rate in post, right? I guess maybe that's the benefit of just doing it in post: you're not committing to the final frame rate during the shoot.
Of course, as you point out, the in-camera ability to view the effect should negate that mostly.
BTW, I think I picked up from another thread that you're from Australia. Where? I'm from Brisbane though I'm now in San Jose, working at Adobe.

Not from Australia, no, but going there in a couple of weeks. Doing a series of training seminars in NZ and Aus; hitting Auckland, Wellington, Wanaka, Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney.
