You should just shoot progressive (30p or 60p) unless you really know
what you are doing as converting 1080 60i to 30p can be kind of a pain
in the rear. People shoot interlaced by choice still because they can
render it out at 60p with a slight loss in vertical resolution. A lot
of cameras (video and dslr) only have 60i as the maximum frame rate.
For fast movement it is smoother. Its also the NTSC broadcast standard
which most TVs interpolate into 60-120p. A lot of it comes down to
what kind of look you want. 24p is kind of jittery with hard pans and
fast camera movement but can look nice if used in a cinematic way with
careful camera movements.

Regarding lens corrections....lightroom now has the ability to render
video itself and apply some slight corrections. I wonder if it also
does lens corrections....hmmm. I'll have to check that out. Their
export video function works well for the quick and dirty.
