Progresive recording Checkbox

[Roman Stikel]

Dear Insiders and all,
If I understand correctly, when using my Canon Vixia hf 11, the progresive recording box in the menu should be left unchecked? The camera is set to record in 30 progresive?
Thanks Roman

P.S. What about the 3.2 pulldown?

Hey all,

I have to shoot with this camera next week and I would love to hear an answer to this one! I'll be shooting 1080 30p. I know that with the HDX-900, RecProg checkbox should be checked and I was going to do the same with the Vixia.

Thanks!

Dear Roman and Bob,
If you record 24p on hf11 you would need to have progressive checked and 2:3 pull-down check too. Simply because 24p on hf11 is wraped in 60i.
If you record 30p you would need progressive checked only - no pull-down!
Hope this helps.
Luben

Perfect! Thanks, Luben!

def. have 2:3 pulldown removed but are you sure about having progressive checked too? I thought you use that when you're getting a PSF signal out from a camera.

Dear Ed et all,
Please read the NF Manual. Everything is explain quite well. From NF Manual:
".... Record PSF->Progressive [ ]
Turn this option “On” to record PSF input video or progressive input video as progressive.
Turn “Off” to record PSF input video or interlaced video as interlaced."

Exactly. My understanding is that whenever you are shooting "progressive" in the camera, you are shooting PsF. And the nano needs to be told that it's progressive. Worked that way with an HDX-900.

Or... I may be wrong. ;-)
