DVCPRO50 field order
Hey folks.
I jumped into a project in the middle of it and there’s tiny issues. It’s been shot on DVCPRO50 and captured into FCP using the same setting. Field order seems to be set trough out the project to upper first and that’s fine, but it’s not.
When I monitor the footage there seems to be field order mix up. The shots have been slomoed in FCP so you can really tell there’s something wrong. It’s flickery or jittery… or however you want to call it. I am just not able to find out what is the issue, because every item (seqs and footage) in the project is upper first (checked the item properties) except the graphics I did and exported with animation codec.
There is no footage with different field order on timeline based on item props info. I even checked the previous version of the sequence to see was there something rotten, but no, all is upper first.I got around the field order thing and get it look right by putting it trough AE, but still the thing that I can’t tell what’s the initial issue is, does my head in. Could it be that the footage is originally lower first and then it’s been changed in item properties to upper to match the timelines? How to check the original Quicktimes if they are upper or lower first?
In addition, it should be fine to have on timeline DVCPRO footage with fields and stuff with animation codec (without fields naturally), shouldn’t it?
How does FCP handle this in terms of field order when put on to a tape?Pete thanks again this wonderful forum and it’s recidents.

DVCPro50 should be lower field first
FWIW

Almost everything in SD is Lower-first, except the PAL Uncompressed 8/10b and some proprietary codecs.

A technical question here.
Im editing a project, where it is filmed in a DVCPRO HD 720p50 (960 * 720), something in the DVCPRO HD 720p25 and something in the DV PAL (720 * 576) 25fps.It is not very important that the film is in HD. So, what do i do? I choose the sequence i Final Cut to be PAL 720 * 576 ?
How do I avoid interlaceing? Some are upper and a lower fields.
Whats the rule?
HD – Upper?
DV PAL – Lower?Mvh Torgeir Henden
