What am I doing wrong here?
I keep getting interlace problems when going form FCP>Automatic Duck>AE>FCP
Here is my workflow:
1. DVCpro50 captured NTSE 29.97 capture via Kona LS at 10bit uncompressed lower field 720*486
2. I edit a sequence and export it via FCP .xml latest version
3. I import it and select that it be lower field dominant.
4. Apply effects and color correction etc. (color is broadcast safe)
5. Render at best setting, lower field, 10-bit uncompressed.
6. Import into FCPI thought for sure that this is the correct workflow, but when I play it in FCP it just doesn’t look good. There is edging problems and flicker. I don’t get it.
Would not having “Preserve Edges” selected in Interpret Footage be the cause?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How about bad field interlace somewhere along the way?

It is interlaced video. So I interpret it that way in AE, and I export it that way back to FCP.
Not sure what I’m missing there. -
When I have had the same problem you have described it is related to the way AE is interpreting the field order. Right click on your video clip. Access the Interprete Footage Screen.Under “Fields and Pulldown”
access the Fields window. You have the options for “Lower Field First” and
“Upper Field First” . Try both and see if things clear up. They did for me.
