I've read a number of different forum threads here and on creative cow and haven't been able to nail down the bottom line. I have a Canon camera that shoots AVCHD and I have choices of 60i and PF30 framerates. PF30 has a footnote that says *Recorded as 60i.
I intend to follow the "better method" using Handbrake and the ultimate usage for my videos will be downloadable video products for purchase, NOT Youtube/Vimeo.
In a discussion on another forum, someone mentioned that PF30 mode video, when dropped onto a Vegas timeline doesn't look crisp and sharp. But perhaps this has something to do with the project settings in Vegas as well?
So my questions are:
Should I shoot in 60i or PF30 mode?
AND
What should my project settings be configured to in Vegas in order to get the best results with the Handbrake tutorial?
AND
What, if any, modifications need to be made to the instructions given in that tutorial?
Thanks everyone!
