Shooting in 30p for 24p Finish

[Max Field]

I've been doing this a lot but I just wanted to ask anyone if they feel it makes the final product's motion look... awkward? jagged?

 

Thanks.

Why would you shoot 30p if your finish is 24P?

 

Yes, the distribution of those 30 frames in the 24 will result in motion irregularities.

 

Even image irregularities. Depends what your software does, it may not drop the excess frames,
but blend them together - 2 images in one. Or some motion estimation tricks might be in place

generating some or all the "proper" 24 frames by analyzing the 30 from the original footage...

If it is just the video you need, simple slowing down of the footage (interpretation) to 24 will do the trick.
It will be slightly longer and play back smooth in your 24p project.
