    DV is only 50i (or more commonly known as 25i). You can’t get 50p as that’s 720p. If you record to P2 cards in HD, you can record 50p in 720p format.

    I am pretty sure you can record 25p in dv onthe HVX, though.

    I know, that 50p isn’t possible but the hvx 200 export the 25p Material on DV to 50i. Final cut gives me an error. Capturing is only in 25i possible. The point is, that we want to capture 50i to get 25p. That’s better than from 25i to 25p over FX tool!?

    I see. Your original post said 50p.

    So, what you need to do is in the browser, change all the of the clips field dominance to ‘None’, then in your timeline’s sequence settings, you need to change the field dom rendering to None.

    As long as you shot on the 25p setting in your camera, you will be good.

    If you have clips in your timeline already, you need to change their field dominance to None by right clicking on them and choosing Item Settings and changing the field dom to None there as well.

    Make sense?

    Marcel,

    I just reread your post and I think I know what you are asking, and I simply misunderstood. What you want to do is take your 25i sequence and double the length of it to do a deinterlace? Am I correct about that?

    If that is so, you can do it with FCP (although After Effects might be a better bet).

    What you need to do is make a new sequence DV Pal sequence, then hit command-zero to bring up the sequence settings. Change the frame rate to 50 and you will see that the field dom will become none. You will then copy and paste your clips from your 25i sequence into this new 50p sequence.

    Is that what you mean?

    No, I want to Capture 50i but Final Cut makes error messages. Capturing only works with 25i. Will it work with other codec than DV? sorry…

    Dv is 25i and 50i (it depends on who you are talking to). I gues I am misunderstadning your problem?

    25i refers to 25 interlaced frames per second

    50i refers to 50 fields per second. They are essentially the same thing.

    Ok, now I understand the problem… Thanks
