Progressive vs. Progressive
What would give the best results?
Shoot progressive in-camera or shoot interlaced and then render the footage with a progressive effect? I shoot with an XL2 and edit with Avid Xpress HD which has a preset 'progressive' effect (FluidFilm Progressive). The results I've had with shooting interlaced and then applying the effect have been fantastic. The 'strobey' appearance on abrupt or quick horizontal movements seems to be minimized as compared to footage shot in the progressive mode. Has anyone experienced the same or could someone enlighten me? Thanks in advance! |

Since it's an XL2, I'd shoot progressive in-camera. You won't lose the resolution that would otherwise be lost if deinterlacing fields.

You're also giving up around 120 vertical lines of resolution by shooting interlaced over progressive...in NTSC land thats 360ish vs 480ish lines.

Definitely shoot progressive, no post effect will truly emulate the motion of shooting progressive natively.

This could get to be a very expensive thread!
If you are going to output progressive the end, shoot progressive. Why change 1s & 0s in midstream.
