HVX200a interlaced SD in FCP
I’m used to shooting HD on my HVX200a and everything always looks great. But lately, I’ve shot in SD to save space on the P2 card. However, when I import it into FCP, it is VERY interlaced. It looks horrible. I’ve tried setting the easy setup to NTSC, 29.97… and I’ve even checked the “remove advanced pulldown and duplicate frames” box. What am I doing wrong? I shot it in 480/30p… i think. Help!

You think? Look at the camera, dig into the settings. DID you? Even if you shot 24p, unless it was 24p Advanced it will be interlaced.
I’ll have to check that 480p30 setting and see what it looks like on my end.

I only said I think because my camera was capturing at the moment. But yes it was on 480/30. But I just discovered something. The footage from the P2 card looks great. Turns out its the footage from the tape. Would there be a different setting for footage from a tape?

Tape only shoots interlaced. There is a 24p setting on the tape, but that is “simulated” 24p in a 30 frame interlaced stream. It looks progressive. And then there is 24pA which you can remove the pulldown and get 24fps truely progressive. Not sure if there is at 30p setting for tape.
I haven’t shot to tape with that camera.

Ok sooo… it wasn’t a capture thing. It was a sequence thing. After fiddling around with the easy setup settings, I’m not exactly sure what I changed since i did the same thing a dozen times, but now it looks crystal clear.

AH…there you go.

Probably that you captured from tape as 60i and your clips have a field dom of lower field first. You need to change those clips to a field dom of ‘none’ and make sure your timeline has a field dom of none.

So how do I capture into FCP in 30p and not 60i? On my capture settings, what do I need to set my capture input to?
What is the best setting to capture onto tape? 60i or 24PA? I don’t want to deal with interlacing anymore!

If your footage is 30psf, then you capture at 60i and change the field dom within FCP like I mentioned earlier.
