just figured it…
my project settings seem to have defaulted to Upper Field First….
hence the interlacing.

/end.

thanks for your help guys.
couple more questions at you…

1.
The bulk of our work is for the video games industry so sequences are normally already quicktime files – meaning we dont have to capture stuff. Assuming this, would I be able to re-export the footage they supply into the ProRes codec, edit on the G5 we already have and re-export as either ProRes or uncompressed HD?

2.
Would I need an XRaid to do the above or would something smaller/cheaper suffice? We already have 2 lacie 250gb SATA drives as raid 0 running with our Blackmagic decklink pro cards, I could never get true performance out of them as they seemed to temperamental and continually dropped frames so im a bit worried about having to go down this route again…

excuse the long explanations, I just want to get to the bottom of a workflow that will allow us to work HD with the best outlay from day 1.

thanks – enzo.

ok cool, tahnks for advice.

so from a FCP point of view I could use the deinterlace filter on each shot I wanted to scale or do I make sure I leave fields to none in the project setup? or both?

Hi, thanks for your reply. the game footage wasnt interlaced when it was captured BUT it has been interlaced during its digi transfer – probably through a capture card. I can definitely see interlacing on it – was worried that if I was scaling it up then the interlace lines would look worse – they seem to view ok when i playback through my FCP timeline…

what would the normal workflow be? leave interlacing alone whereever possible or deinterlace any shots you know your are going to have to scale up etc first or do this on final export?

again thanks for your help….

enzo.
