1080 progressive frame blending
I use the Movie Studio (home) version of this software. Generally I acquire in 1080 50 progressive. Vegas handles this format which is excellent but I do have problems. In general I want the output of my projects to be 720 50p or SD or even lower resolutions for web use. I recently shot some wonderful footage of water splashing against the sides of a ferry in Sweden. Captured in progressive this material is just fantastic with each still frame looking like a superb frozen action still. This sequence will be really useful as part of a chroma key effect – I hope.
However; when I use this material with Vegas to create a 1080i sequence the output does not simply take the material and interlace it. Instead some fields appear to be made by combining (blending) three input frames. Others ields appear to use just one – although this is not so clear.
I want to know how to feed my 1080p video into Vegas so that I can get a one-to-one match between input fields and output fields when I am creating 720p videos and a similar relationship to get 1080i made by simply taking half of each frame. Anyone know what to do? Please help.

I edit 1080 60p video all the time. I had to make custom project settings to handle the 60p as there are no presets for it. Are you doing the same to handle the 50p? As far as the 1080i making blended frames, try setting you deinterlace method to interpolate instead of blend. The downfall is that fast moving video can look jittery.
I also have to make custom render settings to handle my 60P. Are you doing this as well? -

Apologies for the tardy reply. I have been looking at this and searching the web for solutions for some time in between real work of course. I think I have found one. If I right-click on each video track I have the choice to set some “switches”. By choosing “disable resample” I get rid of the triplexing effect where each output frame is made of three input frames.
I will now try and look at the de-interlacing setting you suggested and see if it achieves a similar end but for the overall project.
Boy this is a complex piece of software!
