  FCP7 and Sony XDCAM EX Fields Issue

  Posted by Stephen Botting on August 11, 2011 at 4:36 am

  Hi Everyone,

  Working with Sony XDCAM EX 1080i50 footage on a native timeline, then exporting to a DV25 clip, we have an issue where the fields are correct on the master shot, but cover shots on layer 2 have inverted fields. The original XDCAM timeline has no field issues.

  Is there anyway to resolve this?

  Thanks,
  Stephen

  In the 25 frame world DV is the only lower field codec. I would avoid that codec for many reasons but especially as you clips will all need the shift fields filter in a DV sequence. Try ProRes 422 as you sequence codec and everything remains upper field
