Sony 1080/60i stored as 30p? Confused.

I guess this could have been done over email or Skype, eh? No one else cares!

Eric,

Thanks for keeping this public; trying to learn about video, it's great to lurk in the background and learn something.....

How do I turn off resize and retiming? I don't see a way to do that in the dialog box. I would assume that if I'm not resizing or retiming, it would ignore those settings.

Opps. I meant turn it to fast. Somehow it does make a slight difference in speed the few times I tested. could've been an anomaly.

I'm hoping others can learn from my confusion.

If the video footage was shot at 60fps and you would like to import them to iMovie, I suggest you convert the 60fps footage to 30fps footage.

If you would like to import 60fps to FCE or FCP for further editing, I suggest you maintain the same video frame rate.

If your video footage was shot at 60i, it's best to select 30fps or 29.97fps as the preferred frame rate.
