Need to cut HDV 1080i 30p, setting?
I want to capture Sony HDV 1080i, 30p tape and can’t find the a setting for this. I am on FCP 5.1.4 do I need an upgrade or are the setting some where I haven’t looked.
Thanks in advance.

That’s because there’s no such thing. The i in 1080i means interlaced, the p in 30p means progressive. It’s one or the other, impossible to be both.

With Sony HDV you can shoot 30p and the images are taken in true progressive form then the signal is interlaced (split into fields) before it comes to any port or the HDV processor. All Sony HDV units are interlaced, but the sensors of each field are capturing at the same time. What you will capture is 1080i 60 or 50, but the progressive look is on the tape.
Good Luck

What Michael says and then set your sequence settings for a field dominance of none (apple-0).
Want a really long explanation of this?

It will work the same in HD as SD with 1080 footage with a 25(50i)/30(60i) fps based frame rate.
