  1. Hi all, Sorry for continuing this thread, but I was looking back at it and I still had a question about the XL2...why the 30p on the XL2 is different than the 30p on the DVX-100. 30p on the XL2 has the "stutter" effect (right, Jack?) that 24p on the DVX-100 has (that film look). Any ideas why 30p isn't 30p across the board? Is it just a naming thing that is different with each manufacturer? And thanks again, David, for the explanation of 60i. Jonathan
  2. Thanks for your help, guys. You've cleared up a lot for me. Jonathan
  3. Thanks for the reply, David. So if I'm bringing it into Final Cut Pro, any idea if I can use the regular DV NTSC setup? Or do I have to do some kind of pulldown? Will it look weird on my progressive computer monitor (don't have an NTSC monitor yet). Jonathan
  4. Thanks for the replies, Peter and Jack. My bad, Jack. When I said "grainy", I was not talking about the noise you see once you hike up the gain. I did mean a form of "stuttery", as Jack mentions...basically the way you can tell the difference between film and video...like when you can tell the difference between the image quality between, say, "The Cosby Show" and "Cheers". Peter: In 30p, 1/60 and 1/30 were basically the same (except for how much light was coming in, so I'd compensate by changing the f-stop). Below 1/30 was VERY stuttery, as I would expect it to be. I guess my new question is if I shoot in Canon's "60i" does it still record in 29.97fps? Doesn't 60i have to do with HD? I'm shooting SD. Does it matter? Thanks for your help. Jonathan
  5. OK, I feel like a fool...did some checking and it seems I have to have it on 60i to get that "video" look. Seems weird, because with the Panasonic DVX-100 you get that with 30p. Weird.
  6. Hi all, At work, we have an XL2 (w/20x zoom lens that was purchased before I started) and I'm used to the DVX-100. My question is, when I shoot in 30p, it still has the "film" look of 24p, rather than the smooth "video" look of the DVX-100. I have never come across a camera that looks kinda grainy in 30p. Is this something I can correct in the settings, or does it have to do with the lens? I could give you all the settings I have now, but I don't want to take up space. Is there one that would be specific to this problem? Thanks in advance for any help. Jonathan
