Premiere Pro 2.0 treating some interlaced clips as progressive
I have several 30i, 720×480 interlaced clips I need to work with Premiere Pro, yet the software is treating them as progressive. This is preventing me from resizing the clips using the Motion controls in the Effects panel. How can I force Premiere Pro to treat these clips as interlaced clips?
In the metadata under File Info for the clip, it says under Video Data 1 “Field Order: Progressive” but that’s incorrect, and it won’t let me change it. I’ve also checked Interpret Footage options and there’s nothing to force interlacing.

I dont get much of any meta data associated with DV clips. Is you video DV?
What camera was used? Did you capture the video from the camera?
Meta data can be added manually during the export/compression function and can be wrong. -
Where did you get the footage, from Avid or a DVX

Footage was generated by myself using an animation program.
I fixed the problem by myself, initially working with an Adobe rep. Their response “Generally Premiere Pro should work with clips as declared by the editing mode you are using” got me thinking: I’m using a broadcast interlaced 720×486 setting as defined by my editing card, but my clips were 720×480 as generated by an animation program. I fixed the problem by generating 720×486 frames (note the extra 6 lines for broadcast standard, matching my project settings) *AND* saving the file in exactly the same codec used by the project settings. With the exact same resolution and codec, the clips are now being treated properly as interlaced.
