David,
I checked on several clips and no filter has been applied. I also checked that the field dominance for the clips was the same as sequence settings. When I double click on some clips both (1080i60 and 1080p30), and look under the Filters>video Filters tab, a “Mono 1 Filters” is found, but no filter is under that??? I experimented with adding a de-interlace filter and that seemed to remove the interlace lines that I was seeing. I have read that one should not use the de-interlace filters in FCP or Compressor, so I removed it and the interlacing comes back.
I am only seeing the interlacing in 1080i60 clips at this point.

David,
Could you explain your settings for H.264 and upload settings for YouTube, that you use?

Thank you,

David, Thank you for the information….to answer your questions

1) seeing interlacing? If you’re seeing the interlace on a TV or video monitor, not a computer monitor, something is wrong, because they are designed to display interlaced video signals. How are you feeding your video signal to the monitor?
I have a Kona LHe card sending to a Panasonic BT_LH1700W HD LCD monitor through SDI (Video format on Kona control panel set at 1080i29.97).

Here is a FF on the interlacing I am seeing on the timeline.

2) “projecting” on Panasonic HD monitor? What does that mean?
Sorry, my inexperience…. what I meant was viewing on HD monitor (as described above)

Hello David,

I am doing a similar project (Documentary in FCP DVCPRO HD 720/30p to be broadcast on local PBS station). I have a Kona LHe card and was wondering about your comment:

Of course, there are many ways to improve the blowup other than just scaling on the FCP timeline, such as running through Teranex hardware or through a capable I/O device such as a Kona card.

I am using DVDxDV PRO to rip the archival footage from DVD’s. There is a extract preset that allows the use of the Kona card presets. Should I use this program to run through the Kona card or some other method? If so, what do you recommend?

Jeremy- Thanks for the info. Unfortunately I do not have a mixer. Is there another way to get audio into FCP using the LHe card?
