I checked the FIELD ORDER and solved the problem. The sequence in FCP was in NONE. Once I’ve changed to upper, the alpha looks so much better.

Yeah, I know, the best ways to do this is entirely in AE, but sometimes I need to work with alpha to create a more efficient workflow.

Thanks for the help!

I’ve already done that, but didn’t solve.

I think that I found the problem. The original footage has field dominance NONE and the footage that came from After Effects has field dominance UPPER. I notice that even setting field dominance to OFF in After Effects, when I import in FCP it is recognized as UPPER.

So this is the problem. When I change the sequence setting to UPPER, this footage goes fine, but the other footages of the original material(that has not passed by after effects) has the quality decreased.

Now I can solve by two ways:
1- Discover how change field dominance from NONE to UPPER in FCP without quality loss.

2- Discover how to export from After Effects with field dominance NONE.

Anyone knows?

Hey all,
I’m having a similar problem. I have to delivery 2 videos with this 2 specs:

1

Video: MPEG 16Mbps, LONG GOP, 4:2:2, 720×486, 29.97fps
Audio: aiff, 16bps : VBI Type: SMPTE 436M on line 12
DID=45H; SDID:01H
Container: .MXF(OP1A Internal)

2

Video: XDCAM 50, 1920×1080; 29.97fps
Audio: aiff, 16bps; VANC Type SMPTE 436M on line 10
DID=45H; SDID=01H
Container: .MXF(OP1A Internal)

But using Sony XDCAM Transfer I didn’t found this settings, or even a custom which I can change. There are some way to increase the settings of export in Sony XDCAM Transfer or I’ll have to use other way to export this .mxf files? Which way?
