Dirty little secret....(posted 7693 days ago)Get a PAL format camera... If you can afford it, 16x9 lens (Century Optics makes them) Get a deinterlacing software, like FeildsKit...
Now, import your footage.... in a WINDOWS MEDIA timeline ONLY. (If you edit on a DV timeline, you'll be hindered by DV timecode and the latter trick I'll tell you will result it every 25th frame being repeated resulting in a nasty shutter)
Take you footage and apply a CLIP filter with 12 thick bars...
SLOW your footage down 4 % (96%)
And set the timeline to 24 FPS.
You'll have a psuedo 24p video in cropped DVD ready 2.35:1 Anamorphic widescreen that will look close to film but not quite. Remember it's not film.
