Thanks again for your help

[Jeremy Garchow] “No. What’s weird is that FCP6 seems to natively support true p capture and playback”

Yet this is not true P but segmented frame, so it is technically interlaced material you are working with.

Luke’s material is, yes. BUT what I am saying has to do with the way that FCP6 handles interlaced/progressive material. The capability seems to be there, but it does not allow you to choose progressive formats in traditionally interlaced geometry before capture. 720p is fine, but everything else isn’t.

[Jeremy Garchow] “The capability seems to be there, but it does not allow you to choose progressive formats in traditionally interlaced geometry before capture. 720p is fine, but everything else isn’t.”

But herein lies a difference between the MFG’s and processing of content.
Sony allows its cameras to capture 24p/25p content without adding any additional frame data, just splitting the frame into 2 fields on playback only – the file was progressive- the playback was segmented frame (and dividing frames in to fields is interlacing)

Because this was shot P2 and 1080 P2 material was ALWAYS captured as interlace (until the 3000)- no matter what the frame rate- because the redundant fields had to be removed in a manner just like with 24p SD content.

None of this is true in 720 because it is a “true” p format and it is not applicable.

Hello guys

thank you for all comments, it’s very interesting

however, doest it work the same way for the format 1080i 25p ?

that is put the field dominance to none on both sequence and files ?

thanxx

What’s your source footage and how are you capturing it?

[Renaud Hericord]

I shot with the panasonic aghvx 200 in 1080i25p

and i had to make the capture via FCP 5.1.4 because i didn’t manage to do it with FCP 6, I had some black squares on the left right bottom and up of my screen

so i dit it with FCP 5.1.4 via import files P2

now id like to continue on FCP 6

what do i have to do ?
