HDV 1080p30 – need to upgrade?
So I got my new snazzy Sony HV30 camera. I’m trying to shoot some HDV 1080p30 footage. I’m trying to capture/edit it with FCP 5.1.
Don’t see it listed, do I need to upgrade to FCP 6?
Can I get a 1080p codec for 5.1?
Will Final Cut Express 4 do HDV 1080p30? -

I think I can answer my own question. My objective is to get my 1080p30 video online. (squashed down to 640×360 for youtube)
If I capture 1080p30 footage with 1080i in FCP, I’m just feeding it a single frame for both fields. When I export my video out, it sure looks progressive. I don’t see any interlacing artifacts.
Can anyone verify my reasoning?
