Editing in FCP. I shot a project on a 60D at 24fps with the intent to put on the web. I imported all the footage through log and transfer at 24fps. Edited and uploaded to Vimeo and things look really good. The short turned out much better than I anticipated so I was planning to go ahead and submit to a couple film festivals. This leads me to several questions and I'm a bit out of my element. I searched around but couldn't find any specifics that answered these for me.
1. The film festival wants a SD DVD for their submission. Is the best workflow to produce a 24fps version in ProRes and them put it into compressor to convert to a DVD friendly format? Which format will look the best?
2. I sent the 24fps version into iTunes to watch on my Apple TV and it was of course pretty jittery due to frame rate issues. Again, should I take a ProRes version into compressor and have it output to Apple TV format? I did this and it was much cleaner but am not sure if this is the most efficient method.
3. Do I need to worry about jitter when producing either a DVD copy for the screener or a Blu-Ray? It seems as if the DVD player handles to 24/30 conversion on its own. I don't currently own a Blu-Ray so I couldn't really test it.
I apologize if these are really dumb questions. Don't hesitate to tell me if my workflow was completely flawed from the beginning.
Thanks
