I always render in YUV and “Best”
I just set up a new sequence with field order set to lower and it seems to be working better, although the slo-mo clips still need to be brought in as separate movies, exported from the HD sequence.

Don,
Are you sure about setting the DV-NTSC timeline to Lower Field First? Every tutorial I have read regarding moving EX footage to an SD timeline says to set the field order to “None.” This includes articles by Larry Jordan, Ken Stone and Doug Jensen. Or, does that just apply to progressive footage? None of them made the distinction.I think what you suggest accomplishes the same thing as exporting a self-contained clip with the correct properties, which has been my solution…..still not very elegant, especially if you have a lot of clips.

So, I guess we can assume that Alister was right when he said that the default is also 1/30 at 30p and 1/60 at 60i. So, if I’m shooting at 30p, I should probably change the shutter to 1/60, but at 60i, I could leave it at 1/60 and get acceptable results.

Thanks for clearing that up. Don.

So, if I’m shooting at 30p with the shutter speed turned off, the camera sets the shutter speed to 1/30, but it should be 1/60. Is this bad? Also, does this mean that if I change it to 1/60, will I require twice as much light? As you can tell, I really don’t have a grasp on this issue.
-
So, is this what it’s supposed to be set at, or should it be 60 fps for shooting in 30p?
-
OK, so let’s say I’m shooting at 1080/30p with the shutter turned off. What shutter speed is the camera shooting at?
-
What?
Now I’m really confused. -
Oh terrific! So, what’s the point in having an off switch for the shutter?

Steve,
Can you please explain the proper use of the shutter to me, because it sure isn’t very clear in the manual. Unless I need to vary the shutter speed for a particular effect, I just leave it off, assuming that the camera will set it to the appropriate speed for the format that I am shooting in. That’s the way it’s always worked with other cameras I have owned.Isthat not correct?
