    Help Figuring Out Project Settings?

    literally_figurative Community Member

      I have footage from 2 different cameras. I think the cameramen just aren't too sure what they're talking about when it comes to the formats shot in, which in turn leave me a bit confused.

       

      I was editing with HDV 1080p 25fps settings pretty fine, until I decided to replace a clip with an AE composition, and the next day playback became choppy for me. In trying to figure out what was wrong, I realized the clips for both cameras were saying 29.9 in premiere even though my cameraman said it was shot @ 25 fps on the Sony cam. So I am taking a guess here in saying I should probably be editing with project settings to match that 29/30 FPS, right?

       

      Using mediainfo I am also seeing that the footage is 1080i, so should my project settings for these clips be HDV 1080i(60)? Any more info I can provide if needed, but I am already in a bind having to start this project over, but I am confused as to why I was getting playback just fine and then another day no matter what settings I used HDV playback got choppy. Currently re-installing CS4. Any help greatly appreciated as I am still new to this.
