Final Cut Pro Horizontal Lines through my video.

[Jerry Hofmann]

What format are you capturing to? Looks a bit like a wrong field dominance problem.

yea someone else said that. I’m capturing with H.264 i think how do i check?

[Jerry Hofmann]

Don’t capture to H.264, it’s not supported in FCP for editing. It’s a delivery format.

Capture to ProRes instead. ProRes 4:2:2 or ProRes HQ might fix you right up.

hmm i tried apple pro res and it didn’t work. I tried all of the pro res. Wait so your talking about the sequence settings right?? I’m changing the compressor from h.264 to apple prores 422 and it doesnt work. Thanks for helping

[Jerry Hofmann]

Try transcoding the H.264 you have captured to ProRes, put it in a sequence matching it’s settings, then see if the result isn’t better.

How are you connecting from your game box to the computer?

That what i was doing before i think. It gets worse at first then when add the de-interlace effect using the upper(odd) it gets better. But when i do the even it gets worse. Hmmm I dont see what you mean by transcode it. I went to sequence settings and changed the sequence compressor to apple pro res 422, if thats what you mean by transcoding it.

[Jerry Hofmann]

I mean you should take a clip that’s h.264 now, and export it as proves. Then import that proves version of your file and see if the problem doesn’t go away when you put it in a sequence matching it’s settings. Your problem may well be the fact that FCP does not in any way support h.264 editing. You have to make the source become ProRes before you edit it.

To do what Jerry suggests, drag your h.264’s into Compressor and choose ProRes setting hit submit. Drag the new ProRes file/s into FCP and hit yes.
