This is a subject that concerns many of us living in countries using 50 Hertz based video systems. More and more of my work is only ever seen on computers or, if it is projected, it is is run from a laptop anyway. Consequently moving graphic sequences can exhibit motion artefacts/juddering.
I am tempted to originate all graphics in 60i, but I don't wish to shoot the live action at this frame rate due to the flicker that can be produced doing this with lighting running off the local 50 Hertz and also the fact that none of our cameras will shoot at 60i.
It wouldn't be too much of a hassle to shoot the graphics in 60i and the video at 50i. Then I would render the rough-cut without the graphics to 60i and do the final edit in 60i. Has anybody in PAL-land any thoughts on this?
