why does 1080 footage need to be deinterlaced via the HVX200?
I’m sure this is a common subject this is discussed ALL the time so i’m treading over redundant ground here.
Whats the deal with 1080i footage on the HVX200 needing to be deinterlaced, it looks fine in the viewer but when exported it’s all screwy. i haven’t shot in 1080 yet (always at 720 24p) but everyone says you have to use compressor to export/deinterlace? What/which setting in compressor?
Is there ANY advantage to shooting in 1080i opposed to 720p? Is the resolution the same..footage just as grainy?
I guess the HVX is basically a 720p camera

Why in the world does it need to be de-interlaced? 1080i is a higher resolution than 720p. No reason to de-interlace at all.

It doesn’t need to be. There is a setting called 1080pA24. This is the 24p Advanced setting…meaning that you will st 24fps at 23.98 after you import. 1080 is mainly an interlaced format…in general. You need to do tricks to get it progressive. Removing pulldown is one way, and shooting in a manner to remove that pulldown is another. If you don’t SHOOT progressive, you won’t have progressive.
What format did you shoot? How did you import? How did you edit?

720 is the workhorse of the HVX camera.. so to answer your question, yes the HVX is mainly a 720 camera because you get glass-smooth FPS speeds (both ways) amongst quite a few other options. 1080 has more resolution (1920 x 1080 as opposed to 1280 x 720), but no FPS alternations. Also I prefer in-camera progressive over interlaced, although you can de-interlace in FCP.

Correction…both are anamorphic formats. 1280×1080 and 960×720. Stretched back to fit the full size in FCP.

well, I’m a little confused, most say you DO have to de-interlace and some say you don’t, just by shooting at a specific setting. I wouldn’t want to deal with de-interlacing in FCP or compressor afterwards, thats a bit of a added mini-hassle and time factor. I’m still a tad confused over where you DO or DON’T need to and/or IF there IS an advantage to shooting in 1080 (better resolution) some yes, some say no. Which is it?
Guess i’ll just have to run some tests
Thanks though
