    1080P / 59.94

    Shane P Community Member

      Hello,

       

      I see very few presets fpr this frame size/rate. Id this not a popular encoding / delivery format? I see alot of  720p 59.94 but not many 1080p/59.94. Why is that?

          1080p/60 is not part of any common delivery spec.  The four most used would be:

           

          1080i/30

          1080p/24

          720p/60

          720p/24

           

           

          The primary purpose of shooting 1080p/60 is for superior slow motion in a 24p project.

            Ok Jim, thank you for clarifying.  I assumed shooting 1080p 59.94 would be ideal as it is the highest frame rate and progressive scan. I have noticed that it is not as widely used as the other formats.

             

            1080i/30 - What is the benefit of shooting interlaced video when new devices such as tv's, computer screens, etc and display progressive? When you transcode for the web to progressive is there a quality loss?

             

            I never sw the benefit of shooting 720 if the camera could shoot 1080. I always had the mindset of "I'd rather be able to scale down than wish I had shot 1080 and want to scale up and have it look poor.

             

            Thank you for the reply Jim. I'd appreciate insightopinions on the 1080i/30 workflow.

              What is the benefit of shooting interlaced video...

               

              That it works without any frame rate conversion for common delivery methods - DVD, Blu-ray, broadcast.
