Activity Forums Apple Final Cut Pro Legacy Filed/interlace issue with Quicktime export

    [Philip James] “I’ve used Apple ProRes 422 for interlaced material (High Quality) and set Native Field Dominance to ‘Progressive’ in A/V attributes. “

    After selecting the preset for interlaced material why are you setting native field dominance to None? Just leave it as is or auto and Compressor will pass on the native dominance to the compressed file.

    I got to the root of what I was doing wrong in Compressor. I had set the ‘Native Field Dominance’ of the file to ‘Progressive’ instead of leaving it be. When I changed that back to ‘Top first’ I got a decent de-interlace.

    This doesn’t explain the lousy de-interlace experienced from FCP export but all ends well.

    Many thanks for all your help and patience with this issue – I REALLY appreciate it : )

    Hi,

    Thanks for the great thread. I’m new to TV business/interlacing and staff. I have the same problem shown on the photo above (original footage1920*1080i) the interesting thing is that my video looks the same way on TV, connected by Blackmagic. The final destination for my video is to be broadcasted in 1920*1080i. Does that mean there’s something wrong if I still can see the problem on a TV set? Could you advice please?

    Thanks..:)
