how can I get a 25fps progressive timeline??
I’m shooting a music video in 25p format (from a PAL XL-2). Usually I conform my footage to 24fps to edit, so as to keep it progressive. But as this project is a music video, conforming the footage will put it out of sync with the song. Anyone know a way to create a 25fps progressive timeline? Cheers.

Digitize as your normally would (50i) and then open your timeline settings and change the field settings to none.

Yes it’s that simple. The signal still gets recorded to tape as a 50i stream, the difference is that both of the fields on one frame are exactly the same. You then change your field dominance settings in the timeline and that way FCP won’t reintroduce interlacing when rendering. Cool huh?
