Interlacing Question
Hi,
I graded a clip in apple color, the source video codec was XDCAM 50i mov. Rendered out of Apple color at ProRes, did NOT tick ‘de-interlace’ as i wanted to remain in its native state.
Then re import clip back into p pro cc with native XDCAM clips in time line. The result is that i can see the interlacing with in the edit browser. This is not the issue with the original 50i XDCAM clips.
Would love to know why this is occuring. please see attached still image.
Regards,
Paul

Hi Paul,
I think the first step would be to see whether Premiere is treating the new clip as interlaced or progressive. On PC, you’d right-click the clip in the Bin – don’t know the Mac equivalent, but look at “Modify > Interpret Footage” and see what it shows for Field Order. If it says Progressive, try to manually select “Upper Field” and then see how the clip behaves. I just tried some new software on the PC that is able to create ProRes files, and my conversion from a 1080i source was showing up as Progressive in Premiere and didn’t look right, yet was fine when I changed setting to interlaced, so the file WAS interlaced but was not properly “labeled” as such basically.
In the Program Monitor options, you do have the option to show Both Fields, or one or the other, so that’s another consideration, but of course you do want to verify that the clip is actually interlaced first since you did want 1080i.
Thanks

Perfecto! Thanks for taking the time to answer my query. Im a relatively new convert to P Pro from FCP. I know fcp used to have a similar issue with some codecs, where you would have to manually change the the field order.
This is useful to know for future. I have already set a hot key for clip properties!
Thanks again
