I see that 1920 x 1080i (not p) is available in the template manager in various frame rates, but not the extremely common 1920 x 1080p (not i) at 29.97. Does anyone know why this is? Just curious as it seems like a rather large oversight.
Hi.
Although this is not a format/frame rate which I need to use, I do see your point of wondering why it is not there.
However, (and I have not had opportunity to check that this works, because I do not have any suitable files, but MEP "accepts" this setting); when you start a new project and are given the option to choose your movie settings, if you scroll to the very end of the list of options you will see "User-defined (opens Movie settings)". Select this one and the timeline will open along with that movie settings screen. See my suggested "alterations" below to that screen:
Simply type 29.97 into the frame rate box.
Does that work?

Manually setting the format/frame rate is no big deal (I figured it out pretty easily). I just thought it was odd that this is not one of the default templates considering how extremely common the format is. Easy to add in any case.
Thanks for the information, though!
