Shutter and framerate

[astute]

I have browsed a bit over this forum and have seen several threads about people talking about shutter speeds.

I am curious how this works because I also recently had the camera, and having to dig into the menu to change shutter speeds is a hassle.
On my Canon there is a little wheel that alters the shutter speed, but I tend to it sporadicly. (mostly in low light).

Now I hear that shutter speeds are also important because of the CMOS.
Is there a table I can stick to for which shutter speed should fit which framerate?

P.s. does anyone also have this feeling that the ND filter switch is rattling?

P.s. I also have gotten Premiere Pro CS3 to work natively with the EX1...I just grabbed the MP4 files from the card and loaded them in without any problems.

If you close all menus and push down on the wheel or joystick, you can cycle through the LCD display parameters. If you select the shutter, it will remember the last LCD parameter you used; therefore, it's only a click away from changing shutter rate the next time you want to select it.

This would be so in a perfect world, but as that I also have to set other parameters during recording it's still a few steps further away.

But how can I determine shutter speeds suiting the right situation?

Actually... shutter speed is quick when set direct from the LCD display items, you do not have to pull up the main menu and go to the sub directory, regardless of other settings.

Setting shutter speed is dependent on what looks you are trying to achieve.
If you're shooting 24P and want the typical movie motion look, set it to 1/48 (180 degrees) and leave it.

When shooting 24P, If you want a more staccato look to your motion (The Gladiator look), you could select 1/100, or 1/125.

For the typical motion look, It is standard to have a shutter speed that is twice your frame rate. ex.. 30P(29.976P) use 1/60

What do you do about the 'blink to black' frames that occur when rendering this MP4 footage out to any format in CS3? And how are you dealing with the lack of audio when these files are directly imported to CS3?

I have had to resort to useing Vegas for converting all the footage to uncompressed AVI. I filled a terabyte RAID in just a couple of days.

Have none of those problems. I am on a Mac for the record, I have audio in Premiere CS3 from the clips and I also have just fine exporting to Quicktime.
