1080i29.97: displaying interlaced material
I have a 23.976 ProRes timeline that I’ve exported as such. I’ve then taken that 23.976 file into After Effects and rendered that out to 1080i29.97, adding in https://WWWSS (3:2) pulldown. I can clearly see this in QT 7 stepping through the frame. 3 clean frames and 2 interlaced frames. But just to test something I took that 29.97 file into a 1080i29.97 drop frame sequence in PPCS6 and noticed that PP displays this as 4:2. 4 clean frames with 1 duplicate frame.
My question is, does PP not display interlaced material? Its displaying it as progressive, even though all the settings are interlaced. And to test further, I exported that timeline from PP, matched sequence settings, to give me another QT file. Stepping through in QT7 the file looks just fine. So, I’m assuming PP does not display Interlaced material as it should.
BTW, I realize this is overkill, but only done as test.
Thoughts?

Hi Matt,
In the Program Monitor window settings, you can choose to display first field, second field, or both, so I would try playing with those settings and check the results. Could be the issue
Thanks

Thats it, thx Jeff. It looks like it is just a display thing. I knew the pulldown was there just couldn’t see it. Displaying first field shows the 4:2 or 4 frames and 1 dup. And checking show both fields, shows the 3:2 pulldown nasties. Just wanted to make sure it wasn’t pullin’ a FCP trick on me.
