RE: Interlaced vs Progressive
I am usually not behind the camera, but I will have to be in a few days. I have a 100B and want to know should I shoot interlaced vs progressive. I am going to shoot in 30p. The last time my DP used interlaced, I don’t know if I had a problem when capturing the interlaced footage or not. My final DVD had spots in it where the image was jerky on playback. I tried everything and asked all questions, but no one had an answer. So I am wondering if shooting interlaced brought into FCP was causing problems.?
Now I also didn’t use the 100A/B, but used a consumer camcorder Panasonic GS-120 to capture my video into my G5. I am wandering off the subject, but if you don’t use the same camera (that you originally shot with) to capture your video, can it cause problems?
Anyway I need to shoot this right and make sure it doesn’t have problems.
Any Help is appreciated.

Hope that helps. -
My guess is that your DVD wasn’t encoded properly. I’ve encoded both 30p and 60i footage without issues. That said, it’s hard to get a good read from what you mean Jerky… bandwidth issues come up and make the DVD seem to jump/skip… is that what you mean?
As for shooting and editing… neither of these formats will affect FCP in the least. Your choice, all things else being equal, should be a ‘look’ only.

Actually I figured it out. I had my sequence preset on 24p while trying to capture and edit 60i. I must have been screwing around with 24p some time ago, and the new session didn’t default back everytime I create a session. Other than that, the DVD looks good on playback.
