Bad Interlacing Problem?!?

[Marc Istook]

Thanks for the response…

I didn’t use Raylight because I don’t have Raylight… And my typical workflow with this camera will involve FCP. I’m a loyal Vegas user, but my company has a new FCP setup they’ll be using mostly in the future.

I transfered the footage from 24pN to MiniDV, inserting a 2:3 pulldown — 24p regular.

Smart resampling was selected. I didn’t intend to keep it progressive by switching to a 24p timeline — just wanted the 24p look on a 29.97 timeline, which should not have been a problem using 2:3 pulldown 24p footage.

I don’t suspect inverted fields, if only because I’ve checked each step of the process, and lower field first was used every step of the way — though I’ll double-check.

The resampling could be the culprit — I think Vegas having to deal with the widescreen par might’ve caused some problems somewhere. I’ll check the resampling issue and see if that’s the problem.

Again, thanks for your help.

Do you have nested projects in your workflow? If so, try rendering each project then doing a replace on the .veg files in your final project. I had a bad interlacing problem that resulted, inexplicably, from vegas and nested projects. Hope this helps.
