Sequence preset to choose for new project

[videope]

I am confused about selecting the right preset for my project.

We will be shooting with two different devices:

One is a Sony camcorder that records in HQ mode / with a frame rate of 60i  / and HD quality

The other is a mini iPad

What preset would you recommend?

I recommend matching the sequence settings to the Sony footage and forget about using the iPad.  It's not a proper source for editing.

The trouble I think Jim sees with the mini iPad is it probably shoots in variable frame-rate mode (VFR), and past that, may do a number of "auto-adjust" things that can make showing a consistent image in editing ... difficult.

The variable frame-rate problem can be worked-around by downloading HandBrake, and then converting all the files you'll use from that iPad in Handbrake to Constant frame-rate (CFR) so that PrPro will work with them.

The better option, as Jim notes, would be to stick with the Sony or get another actual video camera to use.

Thanks Neil, I probably do that.

I am getting some clips from a friend and if she doesn't have anything else but the iPad I will have to go with that.
