24 fps progressive

RekindlePhoto 6 Jan 2008 00:34
Anyone having any luck selling 24 fps 1920x1080 HD progressive here at P5 or elsewhere? I'm waiting on approval from a few here to see how they processed. So what do ya'll think, 30fps interlaced or 24 fps progressive at 1920x1080?

everything I've uploaded has been 24P so far, but I'm still waiting for review, I asked the curator to give me feedback on this and other uploading issues when he got around to viewing my clips, hopefully I will hear back. I really think that 24P looks better and I doubt most people buying stock footage really know the difference, I'm gonna stick to 24P till I hear otherwise.

I also asked Tom to look at my first bunch of 24p. He said that they are backlogged some and they'll get to them as quick as possible. He also thought 30 fps interlaced may have better sales. This will be a good test for both of us.

We do accept 1080p24 and other 24p footage, although there is not a huge amount of demand specifically for that format at this point. Most buyers will probably end up using 24p footage in standard 29.97 or 25 fps projects. However, many do prefer progressive images, and progressive is better for web formats as well. So if 24p is the only progressive option you have, it is definitely worth considering.

If you're doing 24p, it's best to remove pulldown if at all possible. If you are not removing pulldown, and recording 24p as a 29.97 clip with pulldown, please be sure to indicate this in the clip description, so buyers will know what they are getting.

Don, in your case it looks like Premiere Pro CS3 is automatically removing pulldown from the xh-a1 and giving you native 24p files, which is great.

The XH-A1 also can shoot in 30p but that is not the best compatibility to Europe and other parts of the world outside of the US. Curator ... what do you think is 30p better than 24 p or just stick to the 30 fps interlaced for now? Thanks, Don
