Dear videofriends,

I am shooting a documentary at the moment. I've exposed 500GB in all varieties of situations so far and did only encounter a single moiree effect. i am just wondering what i am doing right, because the last time i used the camera it appered very often and gave me bad times

Canon 60D
Canon 17-55 1:2.8 always on f2.8 since the iris control is broken
No Filters apart from ND
Magic lantern
Bitrate 1.4x
Marvels Cine Picture Style (Sharpness=0) 
Footage watch on an apple laptop

Last time i used the camera without ML, with a diferent canon zoom lens (17-85 3.5-5.6). I am pretty shure that sharpness was turned off too.

Thanks,
Jonas

Moire mostly comes from line skipping and the scene you're shooting (e.g. wood planks increase the moire effect). A higher bitrate shouldn't decrease it AFAIK. Shooting in crop mode, on the other hand, totally solves it (as there's no line skipping)
