1080i converted to 1080p in post???

[Neil]

Does anyone know if that's possible? I'm looking into getting an HVX200 and I've found out that it won't film anything over 30 frames a second in 1080p. I was wondering if you filmed in 1080i if some how in post you could condense both interlace frames into one progressive? Am I way off base?

Feel free to point out my stupidness.

What are you trying to do? 1080i or 1080p will be the same frame rate. What you're talking about is the Variable Frame Rate setting, for doing over/under cranking for fast/slow motion effects. That is available only in 720p24 mode. But outside of that, it's all the standard film rates.

What is your goal? Your question is not very clear.

Film in 1080i, convert to progressive, or just film 1080p and not convert, you'll end up with the same thing. Just the converted 1080i won't look as good due to conversion in post to progressive.

So, what is your specific question, what is your specific goal?
