importing 1080i footage (from GH2) to FCP: interlaced or progressive ProRes 422?

[Rafael Amador]

If you are editing in FC, the best option is to do it in FC, but not using the FCs default deinterlacer, is as bad as the one in QT.
You can use Re_Vision FieldKit (probably the best in the market), or the Nattress.
Once your movie is edited and exported, you can use Compressor (setting “Frame Control ON”), or jes deinterlacer. MPGStreamclip too.
However the best is to do it in FC, most of all if you are adding graphics/titles.
Edit your interlaced footage on a Progressive sequence, and just before exporting, drop the deinterlacer on the clips in the time-line.
