Progressive vs interlaced

[Randy Hale]

PROBLEM!!
I shot HDX900 1080/60i for a talking-head promo but the client now wants to take outtake B-roll and slow mo it. Knowing this, I would have shot 720/60P, and slow-mo in final cut before injest into avid.

Tried a “Fluidmotion” high rez render in avid….NOT GOOD.

Tried Panasonic 1400 out down-convert to 720 recording to another 1400 deck, then injest into Final Cut, then applying slow mo….Not Good.

I need to somehow get a good looking progressive frame from an interlaced frame.

Hey, I thought the HDX really captures progressive frames but records the same image to 2 fields to make it fake interlace. So can’t I get a clean progressive frame out of this footage?

Anyother tricks? After effects?
Thanks

Have you tried Motion or Shake?

After Effects can do this, too…

I am going to shoot an action feature with the canon XH A1 and need to know what looks best. When I’ve shot action in progressive before, it locks all jumpy and I hated it. What can I do?
