Use of 24P pulldown (workflow question)

MarkFoley wrote on 1/19/2005, 5:03 AM

I've read an older tutorial by Spot and the Ultimate S Tutorial stating you should render ypur project out to 24p before you add transistions, FX, titles...etc. Is there a specific reason to render to 24p at that time as opposed to completing the project normally and do a final render out to 24p....

Probalby so the transitions are more fluid..?

If you convert already existing transitions to 24P, you run into issues. This is one of the reasons Vegas is such a hit with the 24p crowd, it sets up transitions, stills, and generated media correctly for 24P.

That makes sense....
another workflow question Spot, for this example I 'll use a wedding ceremony. If I only want a "highlights" vignette in 24p, I would save the project to 24p after I rough editied (just cuts) the multicamera tracks. I would continue on in normal 30fps for the completion of the ceremony and then use the 24p-created files/veg for the highlights...is this correct

You could, I'm not sure why/what you'll gain there. If you didn't shoot in 24p, the MAIN value in going to 24p in post is storage space, although you do get a cadence that's similar to film without the film look. Of course, you can create the film-like look using either the Magic Bullet tools, Ultimate S tools, or experimenting with various plugs.
