Two ways video draws frames: alternating fields (i) or whole frames (p).
Progressive video (1080p) draws each full frame at once and is the modern standard. Interlaced video (1080i) draws alternating lines in two fields, a legacy of broadcast TV that can show combing artifacts. Most editing and web delivery today is progressive.
Frame rate is one of the most fundamental settings on any camera — and choosing the wrong one can kill the look you're going for before you've made a single cut.
Choosing the wrong export settings is one of the fastest ways to destroy hours of editing work — this lesson shows you how to get it right every time.
