DVCPROHD 1080i60 footage from HVX200 – FCP says it is 1080p30 and it looks like image is melting
Hi. My DP shot in 1080i60 on the HVX and when I transferred it to FCP, it is read as 1080p30. When it plays in the viewer, it looks terrible, like the screen is melting. I did some research and figured out that the camera was set to “film mode” which I guess FCP can not process at 1080i60, and sees it as 1080p30. When I made the sequence settings at 1080i60 and add fields (upper or lower), it looks fine in playback on the canvas.
My question is, should I just edit my film this way and finish at 1080i60, or should so something else before editing? I am also planning on adding stills, old video (interlaced) and original digital animation.
I am using FCP 6 on my MacBook Pro.
Thanks, Crescent D.
