HVX200 + FCP Workflow for 1080i
I’ve shot footage using the Panasonic HVX200 in 1080i24P for the first time and I’m not exactly clear on the best FCP workflow and settings for my ultimate goal. I’m also seeing some serious interlacing no matter what FCP sequence settings I have.
I initially planned to work in a 960×720 frame size so that if I need to punch in for a close up, I can do it without losing resolution (as the 1280×1080 footage is scaled down to 75%). However, when I place the footage on a 960×720 video track, this the footage needs rendering even in a 23.98 video rate setting.
I also used the Remove Advanced Pulldown in the Tools menu to adjust the video rate from 29.97 to 23.98. I still get interlacing throughout. Should I use be using this tool?
The capture settings are DVCPRO HD – 1080pA24 48kHz.
Can someone please advise the best course of action?

First how was your footage shoot. 24PA or 24P, it sounds like you shot it in 24P which would not allow for proper pull down removal.
FCP6 will allow for playback of mix footage timeline so that may answer that problem or you. The new app color may aksi work for you in the geometry room. I guess you would edit a your footage in 1080 and then conform it to 720.

The footage was shot in 1080i 24PA. There is no option to shoot 24PN as in 720P.

I would try re-importing the footage and make sure you have the Remove advance pulldown and duplicate frames checked in the preferences. This should give you 23.98 fooage in your bin.
Also what version of FCP are you using. FCP6 is having issues with importing 24P.
