Hi,

this is somehow a beginner question...

When I start a project in Premiere CS4 with videos shot with my Canon XH A1 in 25f, what is the right project settings?

HDV 1080i 50

or

HDV 1080 25p?

I think it's the 1080i one because 25f is just an "efect" and not a true progressive... Am I right?

Thanks in advance!

You are incorrect.
25f is the same thing as 25p true progressive.

We're are about to start the postproduction of a shortfilm wich cost us a lot of effort...

So... We should select 1080 25p in Premiere. Is this right then?

(to be completly sure)

Thanks!

I would base my edit on the predetermined delivery format.
Since this short film cost you a lot of effort, you did do some planning did you not?

sure!

The delivery is DVD and Blu-ray disc.

With this in mind what project settings would you choose?

Thanks!
