Hi,

The "progressive" option on the rendering dialogue has three states. I know that the solid check mark is progressive rendering.

What is the dotted checkmark, and blank states used to represent? I am assuming blank means leave it interlaced.

(I've got pulled-down video via 24p option of the canon HV20 -- how do you make it do a reverse-pull down for progressive rendering -- without this the progressive rending is not working properly.)

I have a Canon HV20 and in my opinion it can only shoot 25p (European version) or 30p (US version). The selection of full frames is done when choosing profile, i.e. HDV 1080 25p. Your HV20 must be in ciname mode.

Now if you need 24p for cinema (do you really need to show your film in a cinema?), then customize the 25p profile and create a 24p profile. There is a tutorial here: http://www.kdenlive.org/tutorial/kdenlive-how-create-custom-profile

Kdenlive will pulldown one frame.

To my knowledge, there is no other pulldown. Please not I have this camera only for one month and I may not know how to pulldown progressive frames.

My main question was what the rendering "progressive" options represent. unchecked/partially checked/fully checked.

The NTSC version is 60i and 24p (telecined -- 2:3 pull-down) to fit into 60i for HDV. This is a feature distinct from "cine mode". It would have been more logical to have 30p/60i. It seems more logical that to get the 60i the cameral internally does 30p with interlacing conversion to get the 60i.

The newer camera (which I got for 350$ US -- what a steal), the HV30,  has 30p/24p and 60i.

The project settings defines a progressive vs. interlace option. Therefore, the render dialog's checkbox provides an override:

1. Use the project setting (default - dotted checkmark line)


2. Force progressive (checked)


3. Force interlaced (unchecked)
