Capturing 24pA footage into FCP
I’ve shot 8 hours of footage on the Sony Z7u, using 24pA. I’m another one of those confused on the workflow, and have searched for a couple of days now for an answer. Looks like many others are confused as well! Your suggestions/help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
I’ve captured the footage using the HDV capture preset, and all looks good in the 29.97 timeline. However, during images with lots of motion I can clearly see that interlacing is present in the footage.
In the sequence settings, the editing timebase is 29.97, upper field dominance, and the compressor is HDV 1080i60.
How to I get this footage back to progressive/non-interlaced footage? Should I change the timeline compressor to HDV 1080p24, or am I capturing this footage incorrectly in the first place?
I prefer to stay in the HDV codec vs. ProRes due to disk space limitations. But if you can give me some insight and specific settings I should be using, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks.

I don’t think there’s such thing as 24pA for HDV. 24pA is DV only, as far as I know. 24p is different than 24pA. If you shot 24p HDV, then capture 24p and edit 24p. Why are you working in 29.97?
