| |  Camera choice for progressive recording
Hi there,
I am producing short clips for internet use and I currently have a Sony FX1 camera.
However, interlacing is a problem since all computer displays are progressive scan.
Would I be better of with a camera that shoots in true progessive mode and if so, which is the best one?

Why not just deinterlace your captured footage and then simply edit it as 25p?
or do what I do. Do all the editting from my own FX1 as 50i and then worry about deinterlacing on or not on my final export. That way, I still have the option of intelaced product if I care to make a DVD version of the project later on.

Interesting reply (and quick)!
I always thought it was best to deinterlace after the edit (I use VirtualDub with the Panasonic codec) . Am I wrong, should I deinterlace first?
How do you deinterlace?
And do you not see evidence of your interlacing nonetheless on a computer screen? I do, hence my original question.
Thanks Alan.

Emm depends what the guy wants for his progressive scan, if you want Progressive scan as in solid 50 or 60fps Progressive then IMO your best bet would be getting a camera that can record to 720p, however there are some pretty amazing deinterlacers out there that can make deinteralced 50i and 60i look like 50p/60p these days.

Thanks for that. What deinterlacers / techniques do you recommend?

I agree - you dont really need a progressive camera, especially for net distribution what with all that compression.
Progressive cameras are valued by many for that 'filmy' look, but this is only of great value if the end result is going to be shown as high quality progressive.
If I need to deinteralace I usually do it in vegas but v dub does a good job too. There are some add on deinterlacers that give great results - cant remember the name. Will post if i recall.

I use that one already. It's good but not as good a job as I would like.
I think I'll have to wait for an affordable progressive camera.  |

IN the mean time i find avoiding fast shutter speeds can reduce interlace atrifacts. A bit.

What about a faster frame rate?
