Best way to process AVCHD
So I have ingested my AVCHD footage into FCP with the Intermediate codec, then applied a Boris Continuim Complete deinterlace effect, hich looks great upon playback on my Apple Cinema Display. The question is how do I best output this so I keep the frames progressive. I have tried a lot of things and it seems like the nice smooth fottage I saw in FCP is now deinterlaced again. This is ultimately ending up on the web and on computer screens, if that helps.
Any insight on this would be helpful, I am a DV guy, just exploring the HD world with my AG-HSC-1U, ultimately this will be a second camera to a forthcoming HVX-200.
Is there another way, ie: other software, to ingest and deinterlace at the same time?

Don’t worry about it until the end processing for web compression. Stay in the native format to relieve your system of processing an effect while in the rough cut process.
When you compress to Flash, MPEG or whatever, simply activate Deinterlace in the render settings.
Unless you have to provide some kind of wow factor for a client, don’t spend too much time on it. It’s like color correcting dailies before doing the rough cut first.

Thanks, that is helpful. I am running some tests now.
Another question: Is there a way to output a deinterlaced master copy in HD? Maybe in the DVCproHD codec? Something to archive and save for future projects, as I said , I want to mix this footage with hight quality, probably HVX-200 (unless they Panny comes out with a new version before I get a budget together) in upcoming projects?

Archive your project in a its native format. There’s no point converting it to an as-yet determined future format or purpose. who knows what’s coming around the corner next!
