dancing video
(hello , i posted this one on the creative calf, sorry for the double posting but i thought ill get an answer here)
when watching the video on TV while editing on Avid xpress pro and i stop or pause, the footage look still on the TV monitor, but now while trying to watch the video from FCP (different project) and i pause , the footage keeps “dancing” on the TV monitor and all my freeze frames look the same
p.s.: the video goes through FW PAL
i tried changing the field in the sequence setting to none but it doesn’t look goodwhat is the problem and how can i solve it ?

THis is interlacing. The ‘dancing’ is a full frame of two different fields. It is not a problem it’s how video works. FCP does not have the built in capability to pause on a field it only pauses on a frame. External capture hardware will buy you this capability (such as products from AJA). If you need to make a still frame from that particular frame you will have to deinterlace.

silly me i looked before and couldn’t find it … sorry. works good
so do you suggest that after finish everything create new sequence move my sequence to that new one and apply the effect to the whole movie -

No, you should not apply it to the whole program as it’s NOT A PROBLEM. It’s how video works. If you de-interlace your whole program you will lose resolution. You need to apply this effect to freeze/still frames that you have made from your video only not to the moving video itself.
