deinterlacing and fcp/osx/qt behaviour questions
i’m doing some tests involving deinterlacing my source
materials. somewhere i read in the fcp manual that fcp
displays video deinterlaced to avoid annoying combing
effects. in this case those annoying effects are exactly
what i want to see for evaluation purposes.i’ve also noticed that the qt player seems to also be
reluctant to show the materials as interlaced. is this
osx level behaviour, fcp/qt level, or what? how can i
get around it? all i want is to be able to put up an
interlaced clip next to its deinterlaced counterpart in the
qtplayer and run them both so i can look at quality side
by side.thanks,

An external broadcast monitor will always show the raw interlaced footage. But I agree it’s annoying you can’t turn it off in FCP.
As far as QT player goes, sometimes I see the fields and sometimes I don’t. I think with certain codecs/formats QT automatically knows how to deinterlace it.
You can always use Cinema Tools. Just open a QT file in CT, and it will never show anything deinterlaced.

thanks sean. i’ve noticed the sometimes on sometimes off
qtplayer behaviour as well. so deinterlace can’t be turned
off in fcp? bummer. will try ct. can multiple clips be run
simultaneously in ct? that’s one advantage with qtplayer,
can run multiple instances to see an interlaced and de-
interlaced side by side; not frame accurate but close.thanks again,
