Ok Thanks for the input. Problem with interlaced is I’m shooting for computer screens, not TV. TVs are interlaced. Monitors are not.

Why 29.92i? For whatever reason, when I ingest the footage using FCPs ‘Log and transfer’, it automatically (there aren’t even options for this) assigns 29.97i to the 59.54i footage. I noticed this issue but didn’t sweat it because the footage looked great while in FCP. Export quality is the issue.

Jerry: problem is I MUST deinterlace if it’s gonna look anything other than crap, viewed on a computer monitor. Is this not your experience? At this point I’m wondering what a good workflow perhaps using Compressor might be here…

Thanks a ton you guys – I’ve just been really busy with school starting and all.

Yes, the footage is ingested into prores 422. How do you get those results? How do your settings differ from the ones I list above?
