I shot 4 very short clips at different settings to try and determine what is going to work best for my upcoming wedding season.
Questions: I can't find in the operator's manual, but the 1280x720 60 setting in the Canon 60D seems to be 60 progressive. I took a frame and put it in Photoshop and it appears to be progressive. But when I render in Vegas, there isn't a 60P setting - at least in "main concept AVC/AAC mp4. So, I rendered as 29.970 progressive and it came out fine. Is there a way to shoot 60i in this camera?
Does anyone have an opinion as to which setting produces the nicest camera movement?
Is there a best setting if output to SD DVD's is most probable outcome?
Is there a setting that would allow me to do decent slow-motion (in After Effects/Twixor) every once in a while?
