Milad Tangshir

Hi everybody I'm finishing a long film which means all my life to me...unfortunately I have never worked with any NLE sofware, so I'm kinda ignorant about it, I'm really sorry. My film is shot in 25F (XHA1) and some stuff in 50i, which will be slow motion parts....BUT I also need to insert and put some videos from internet or few pieces from other films ; into my film. I wanted to know is that possible? can I have various files with various frame rates, various formats , and different frame height and frame width....? my main frame rate will be 25F, so if I use a piece with 29fps or 30 fps, will they be slowed down?! what will happen exactly? I hope I could do it, otherwise I will be ruined... Thank you very much for your support and help...

thanks you very much Freya... got it all.

thank you very much for all your words... they are massively useful.

thanks for your comment

very good point Alessandro but you know I'm putting my little money into it and I'm risking my university career and also the trust of the people who believe I can come up with something good...especially myself!! about the learning for future projects I completely agree with you... and thanks for the advice.

hahaha... Sorry to disappoint you! that's a great film. not my favorite from P/P; but still great...

Freya thank you very much for lovely and caring response.... yeah you are right they are in PAL... so you think I MUST shoot it in 25p; hum? I thought I'd be losing the look by not shooting in 24p.... to be honest I did not understand the conflict you mentioned about lighting frequency issues... Love Milad

Chris I don't care if you are turned off. and from the responses below it seems you are only the only person that got turned off...so do not talk as you ARE THE PEOPLE...cause you are not!

Thank You very much Mr.Mullen

Hi Everybody. My name is Milad and I’m an Iranian student Cinema in Italy. In few days I’m going to shoot a long film. This is the only chance that university is giving me and I’m putting all my life into this project: my money, my academic career and my staying in this country. This project is matter of life and death to me. The university is giving me canon XH A1. I have read all the things about this camera here and there. But I got very important questions to ask. My film will have some very important close up shots. (Mainly close up of faces). Here are my questions: 1. I know that for that film look it’s better to shoot in 24p (which in this canon is called 24F). but I read that in 24p you will have jerky slow motion. Is it possible to shoot all the normal scenes in 24F and the slo motion scenes in 60i and then have it slowed down to 24p? will there be obvious difference between these two when you see them in the final result? 2. some people say 60i is the best for the slow motion…but some other tell me interlaced is not good for this purpose… 3. They tell me that working in post in 24p is hard even for normal speed shots… 4. for the film look they suggest double of the frame rate. (24p with 1/48 or 1/50). But also they tell me higher shutter speed is best for slow motions… Please help me… what frame rate and shutter speed should I use for ALL this film… THIS IS AS IMPORTANT AS LIFE TO ME… (P.S. this camera is bought in Europe so it also has 25f/50i option, a editor here told me to shoot all the film in this mode…)
