Now, for film-based edits, I just export at 23.976 frames per second. Simple. However, my upcoming Consecution short is primarily from a video-shot source; 60 interlaced fields per second, with some 24p film clips in there. For the DVD version, it'll be exported as 30 frame per second interlaced video. It will properly deinterlace to 60 fields per second, and the film clips will have standard 3:2 pulldown. No problem. But vimeo caps out at 30 frames per second. The way I see it, I have three options for exporting the streaming version:
- 24p with dropped fields. The film footage will retain its proper frame rate. The video footage will omit 36 fields from every second of footage. It'll look a little choppy and somewhat lacking in detail, but should still be watchable I think.
- 30p with dropped fields. The video footage will drop half its fields. Motion should be smoother, but still lacking some detail. The film footage will have atypical frame repeats. It may look awkward.
- 30p with blended fields. The video footage will use all fields, with each pair blended into a film-like frame. Detail will be highest, but motion will appear blurry. Film footage will be the same as in the dropped field version.
