    This seems like it should be easy, but it’s giving me a lot of grief. I always have interlacing problems on final output (played back on quicktime player) even when it looks fine in FCP. Does it make a difference what my sequence settings are? Should you make an Uncompressed sequence then export in a certain codec? Or should you have your sequence match your output type? Can you set the Quicktime player for different field interpretations?

    Interlacing is based on the footage that you’re editing and not the format. What you want to do is make sure you edit at the native footage settings. If you’re exporting it for QuickTime delivery, then it might be work using a deinterlacing filter.

    You could try the filter in FCP, Compressor or Motion. You could also get Nattress Standards Converter. It has a nice FCP deinterlaced filter too.
