  Need input for upcoming shoot with progressive and Interlaced clips

  Posted by John Beck on August 17, 2008 at 8:40 pm

  I have two questions:

  1) I have an event coming up soon where I will have to use a DVX100B and a Sony 2100.(not so impressive in progressive mode). Therefore, the Sony will remain in its native 60i mode. I will use Premier CS3 for editing but I am unsure of the issues mixing the ouputs of the two cameras (different time lines) in Premier Pro may be without some issues when switching between cameras. What are the likely issues that I may encounter at edit assuming both cameras are synced in edit.

  2) Specifically, regarding the DVX 100B, the manual states when shooting in 30P mode or in 24P mode, the camera actually outputs 60i. So is the output actually progressive or interlaced. The manual seems to be pretty clear it’s interlaced but that leads to the obvious question—is the imported clip progressive or interlaced? Got to be many DVX users in the premier forum and I am new to the DVX.

  3) If I were to render the project in progressive mode with clips that are natively interlaced, I read recently that, one of the fields will be eliminated providing half of the resolution. I have tried this previously and that statement does not seem to produce the implied results. But what exactly is happening to the interlaced fields when rendering progressive? If one field was tossed in rendering, would that not make a very noticable difference when the clip is rendered to the final format?

  Would very much appreciate input from the group.

  Thanks!!
