    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?

    The digi beta signal is interlaced. Even though the original is film, the telecine produces and interlaced signal to tape in SD. Treat it as interlaced in FCP and you shouldn’t have problems.

    Hi.

    All in FCP is fine filed or no field but the problem comes in when i export TIFF frames to sequence to give it out to color corrector in different work flow. I solved the problem by exporting my material from compressor making an compression setting with image conrtol turned to progressive. Generally it seemed not good that FCP did not export progressive TIFF sequence in decent way. Maybe the problem is me ?
