Using 24PA footage

In Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5, you can edit images that were captured using Panasonic's proprietary 24P and 24P Advance, or 24PA, interlacing scheme. These formats allow you to capture footage to NTSC DV tape at 24 progressive frames per second (fps).

Working with the 24P modes is most advantageous when you intend to author a progressive scan DVD. Because Adobe Premiere Pro recognizes 24P modes, you can perform your capture and edits within the program. Then, you can use the Adobe Media Encoder to export the file from Adobe Premiere Pro. Once exported, you can open the file in Adobe Encore DVD, author your DVD, and then simultaneously export the project and burn it to DVD as a 24P MPEG-2 stream. The resulting DVD is playable on any DVD player and will exhibit no interlacing artifacts if you have a 480p (progressive scan)-capable DVD player and television. Alternatively, you can export the Adobe Premiere Pro 24P project in a format appropriate for transfer to film.

Note: Adobe Premiere Pro accepts 24P and 24PA footage only from the Panasonic AG-DVX100 camera, or from cameras using the 24P schemes.
