    Hi.

    I’m capturing from digibeta filmed material which does not have
    fields originally (transfere from actual film). In FCP it all seems fine but when i export it as frames through QT conversion or through motion i get frames where diagonal lines and edges tend to go blocky. If i export the same material from Premiere material is clean. I use the wery same files captured on FCP. Can it be the problem of FCP?
    I have heard the same problem from a buddy of mine also who edits on FCP. We both have BM Multibridge (one is newer model one is older). Eny ideas?

    hmmm. DBC is an interlaced format wich by its nature can have different images on f1 than on f2, thats the nature of the beast. i’d guess unless the footage was shot progressively ie HD 1080p25/720p50 and Down converted to PAL the footage may be interlaced, unless its a SloPal transfer but that would be from a NTSC source. In FCP the viewer doesnt show you fields it only shows you frames, but outputs interlaced video. And premire might just be outputting Frames instead of fields..

    What are you exporting as? Via QT conversion.

    Better option is to export QT with no conversion and load that into the app your going to.
