November 23, 2011 at 5:27 pmI think you’re going to need to be a bit more specific. FCP7 can render to fields and you can turn off frame blending. No you don’t have the control as you would in After Effects, for example (where you could stretch 60i to 60p) without third party tools such as Fields Kit.

Nice tip. Where’d you find that?

I always waited to convert to progressive when creating the QT used for the DVD. That way, the original material was still interlaced in case I needed it later for broadcast or something like that. In Compressor, you can create a progressive QT that looks pretty good from interlaced footage and then build the DVD from that.

November 23, 2011 at 5:50 pm[Jeremy Garchow] “If really there’s no capture card support out of FCPX and they expect us to use a Thunderbolt display, that’s seriously all I will need to know. I’m out if that’s the case, but I highly doubt that this is the case.
AJA is, I’m sure, under strict NDA.
Apple themselves listed AJA as beta test partners in the FAQ.”
I agree with you on the Thunderbolt only proposition. I’m sure AJA is under an NDA, and they have no problem telling you when they cannot discuss things. The problem here is their surprise and the fact that they didn’t seem to know about Apple promising early 2012. That sounds more like being kept out of the loop, but then this is all speculation.
What FAQ are you referring to?

Sometimes I spend a little time looking though all the keyboard shortcuts (command-option-k).
I type in random stuff and see what comes out the other end. Other times, I try to remap a keyboard shortcut to something I want, and it tells me what I am about to replace.
In this instance, I think I was trying to add a keyboard shortcut to “Show both fields” so I typed in “field” to the search bubble and it showed me the field controls.

You could then hook your Kona 3 to a Thunderbolt iMac for example. Theoretically.”
Let’s hope it works better than every other external card cage has thus far…

The original Apple FAQ that’s now offline. It was floating around somewhere, let me see if I can find it.

I’d use compressor to deinterlace.

Bring your footage in to AE. In Interpret Footage which you get by right clicking on a shot in the project window, there are some field settings like upper first or lower if I remember right. Pick one of those, bring your shot into a 25P timeline and render
You can also do it in FCP using the de-interlace plugin. I haven’t tried it in compressor..
