Hi again Graeme,

We loved the results of the deinterlacing filter once we applied the workflow you suggested. So we purchased the film effects pakage and are playing with settings now. What would you recommend to get the rest of the footage (24p Advanced pulldown on a Panasonic VX100A) to look as good as possible? Should we move to a 29.97 sequence and conform the 23.98 footage to 29.97?

Huge, huge thanks for all your help here- we love you!

A previous editor on this project captured a mini DV tape using DV compression. The results were unacceptable resolution & choppy playback. That’s why we tried to recapture at a higher data rate (uncompressed 10-bit) in hopes of getting a higher res digitization. Thanks for offering to call us, please do. Or write us back if you’d like us to call you.

Thanks for the tips!

We tried tweaking the plug-ins as suggested. We tried deinterlace & conform. Both results looks pretty blurry / choppy.
Before we capture from the mini DV tape (a dub of a Beta SP tape) in FCP 4.5 (we captured at 10-bit Uncompressed 4:2:2) the image in the capture window is clear & crisp. All RT settings are High during playback, but the image never can compare to that capture window look. Tried to capture with compression at None & found our system drops frames & aborts capture. How can we have that crisp, clear image like the capture window?

Thanks so much for the valuable info

YES! Worked like a charm. Beautiful workaround, now Apple must be informed!

Huge thanks,

“Instead of using timecode points to line up your clips, set inpoints on them all.”

Yes, you need to actually SET THE INPOINT (blue arrow) at the beginning of all the clips you want to link, no need to cut them as FCP looks to the inpoint, not the cut point.
I made the same mistake.

I had the same problem with the viewer going blank.
I was cutting a multiclip on video track 1.
3 standard clips on video tracks 2,3,&4.
I had a fifth video track with nothing but slug & the opacity down to zero.
When I turned off the fifth track, problem solved.

Try turning off any tracks not involved in the cut you’re doing.
