29.97 or 30fps HTDV?

Post by CartoonMonkey »

Does it matter either way if I use 30fps or 29.97 in 1920x1080 resolution?
Anyone know?

What's the length of your project and is it for TV?

In my country case(NTSC and ISDB 1080i),

 For broadcasting (include Youtube) / screening ... 29.97fps
 For rental / sell Blu-ray ... 30fps

because for each player or projector's "scanning lines Standards".
Excuse me that's too hard to explain technical terms in English language.

@Paul - 4 minutes, and would like it to be able to be broadcast on tv, but also stretch up to digitial film projection.

I guess, I should just design at 30fps, and if it needs to be shown online, do a 29.97 conversion?

So out of the four minutes you would drop about 5 or 6 frames... (out of a 30 sec. commercial you wouldn't loose a single frame, that's why I was asking). I believe the conversion counts only when it comes to lengthy TV shows.
