Hello,

usually I save my footage clips for agencies from my Canon 5D Mark II as

1920 x 1080 pixel (Full HD)
25fps
no sound
MotionJPEG B
.mov Container

Now I've read at some blogs that they recommend either PhotoJPG instead of Motion JPG for footage and another frame rate, usually 29,97fps.

So I am wondering:
What frame rate sells best? And why?

Thanks in advance,
Robert

MotionJpeg is best suited for interlaced footage and PhotoJpeg for progressive footage. Since the Canon 5DmkII record footage as progressive the PhotoJpeg codec is better suited.

I am no expert on footage, but as I understand it, it is easier to convert footage from 29.97 (NTSC) frames to 25 (PAL), than the other way round. For this reason it is usually better to shoot at 29.97, unless you specifically shoot for the European market that use the PAL standard.

That's correct. By submitting 30fps you're directly supplying to the biggest video market in the world. Whoever else needs 25fps, can easily slow it down to that.

If you record natively 25fps and convert it to 30fps you inevitably speed up the video which won't look great.

On the other hand when you convert it down from 30fps to 25 fps the video becomes a little bit slower which in most instances is not really distracting.

Just so that you know, I have no affiliation with the website that I'm about to mention.

If you're interested in learning more about shooting video with your 5D, check out the forum at www.cinema5D.com. There are some extremely knowledgeable people over there and they're all using the same camera, so there's lots to be learned!

I set my camera to 25fps for all the clips I do of places around the UK, as it's PAL over here.  If I do something that might be purchased outside the Europe, I switch to 29.97fps.  I might be better off just doing 29.97fps but I thought I might want to make my own DVD's and blu-rays one day, so it will be easier for me if I stick with 25fps.

This has to be the most contested area of video clip production. Higher end sales outlets prefer 24fps and I here say it converts easiest to 25fps or 30fps if need be. I shoot mostly 30fps now as it does seem to have the greatest need but sell 24 fps clips as well. Toss a coin.

Correct.

I sell motion graphics only and I really can not see any big difference in sales volume between 25, 29.97 and 30 fps

In case you have a clip at both frame rates (e.g. a 3d animation), is it ok to submit the same video at 25 AND 29.97fps? Or one will be rejected?
