Thanks for the reply Gary,

The footage that I use for the show comes to me as XDCam HD 1080i50 and the broadcaster has requested I send them the finished show in 1080i50 so I set my sequence up to match this. I am monitoring via a Blackmagic card with HDMI to a TV monitor. On the sequence settings for this timeline I have the frame size set at 1920×1080 which automatically sets the aspect ratio to HDTV 1080i (16:9). The quicktime video Compressor settings are at XDCam HD422 1080i50 (50mps).

Do you suggest de-interlacing all the 1080i footage and editing in 1080p then using quicktime converter on the output to sent the show at 1080i? If so what set up do suggest I use? Do I have to change all my monitoring parameters in the Audio/Video Settings as well? Or is there something I can do to the graphic files themselves prior to importing them to avoid all this hassle and stop the aliasing?
