Mitchell, I´m not familiar with the pull down issue (being in PAL land). I´m just refering to the thread below, where the issue was addressed. The post is dated 26th of August 2008. It´s strange that contradictory info keeps creeping into these threads. It would be an idea to address certain aspects of the EX-series cameras in a Sticky thread, so we don´t have to discuss again and again the confirmed hardware and software facts?

Alister,
Forgive me for reposting the same question, but it got lost in the great 8vs10 quandry...

Clarification if you will:
If your output is intended for HDCAM - is your FCP sequence set to XDCAM EX and then under sequence settings you set the render codec to uncompressed? or is the timeline sequence and render codec, both set to uncompressed?

Thanks again my friend,
Lonnie

Terje - I'm sorry to say that I can't provide you with any additional info. Honestly (kind of embarrassing) I didn't know what PsF was so I Googled it and found the link to the thread I posted. I thought it might help.

I shoot mainly for broadcast television so shooting in 24 fps doesn't interest me much. I plan to shoot mostly 30P (or maybe 60i....don't know yet)

Lonnie, I use the easy setups and choose the EX HQ preset then set the sequence setting to render blackmagic uncompressed.
