Mixing DV Formats When Shooting Digital Video If you need to mix 24PA and 24P in a project, this is not a problem. Once reversed, all 24P (23.98) is the same. This is not the case when mixing DV formats. While DV, DVCam, and DVC Pro can be mixed in a project, these formats should not be mixed with DVC Pro 50 or DVC Pro HD. These formats can all be edited into the same timeline and rendered to the format of that timeline. However, the renders do not look nearly as good as proper transfers made tape-to-tape before capture. This is defi nitely true of HDV. This format is not compatible with any of the other DV formats; however, any video format can be dubbed to HDV tape-to-tape just as HDV can be dubbed to any other format. These dubs require very specialized equipment and should be done in a reputable postproduction facility. Shooting HD Digital Video at 23.98 or 24 FPS Figure 2.6 shows the shooting of HD for a video project. Some professional HD Cam and DVC Pro HD cameras shoot unusual frame rates, such as 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 30, 50, 59.94, and 60. Often, the higher frame rates are used to achieve slow motion, but these frame rates can be used for other purposes including special effects and conversion to European PAL format. As in standard defi nition, 23.98 is often used for its “fi lm look” and ability to transfer to fi lm. It can also be used on HD DVDs. While HDV can be shot at 23.98 FPS, unlike other DV formats, this requires special cameras and other equipment for both shooting and capture.
