How to pick the best workflow… and the best version of a “segregated” camcorder to avoid being Twisted into knots

There are many times when it makes more sense to shoot and edit video at 25p than at 24p, regardless of the final framerate(s) to be delivered to various distribution formats, even if you live in an NTSC (or ex-NTSC) country. You may know that “24p” video is almost always really recorded at 23.976p (although Apple and some camera manufacturers often like to round it to “23.98p”). This article is about:

• Why and when you would want to shoot low framerate video at all.
