Canon 5d MkII field dominance

[Steve Martin]

Thanks! I have been advised elsewhere to conform to 29.97 and I have tried LT with good results also.
Best always, Steve

Thanks Gary. The clips show a field dominance of odd after import into the browser from HD. I would think they would have field dominance of none if they were truly progressive material?
Best always, Steve.

And FCP would know to set this to none because……? There is no way for it to tell the material is progressive, and as Gary said 1080 as a video format is normally interlaced.

All the best,

Tom

Thanks, That makes sense. By the way the material looks gorgeous on the latest LED monitors.
Best always. Steve.

It is called PsF or a Progressive segmented Frame

it is the default transport of a baseband video signal as designed for all 1080 HD formats. While there are True P setups available they require a hardware card that has that feature set enabled and a display that can handle a True P signal in 1080 (most consumer monitors cannot)
