If it’s progressive, that means that it was incorrectly captured. If you captured, then recapture as interlaced. If you licensed it, or obtained it via third party, ask them to re-capture or re-encode it properly.

is the footage interlaced? Meaning, is it reporting that it’s 1080i? Or is it progressive with that interlacing built in? I’ve come across that TOO DAMN MUCH in my work on archival docs.
OR…are you trying to use interlaced footage in a progressive sequence? IN which case, you need to de-interlace it.

Youtube isn’t a stock footage supply company. It’s a place people post videos for others to watch. If you want stock footage, and backgrounds, and stuff like that, you need to look at places like:
Pond5.com
Shutterstock.com
istockphoto.com
Stock.adobe.comAnd this footage will cost some money. As people took the time to compose the shots and shoot the footage, and in the case of zombies…hire actors, do makeup, build sets. Stuff that costs money to do.

Hmmm…that is odd. Glad you solved it! Now I have that in my solution pocket.
Good going

Frame flex is applied when the footage is larger than the project settings (as you might know). So a 4K shot in a 1080p project would have frame flex on it by default. There is no way to not have this happen, unless you render out the footage to match the Avid project settings.
Now, you are saying that you have this larger footage in Avid, and it’s zoomed in? Is it not zoomed in on the Resolve side?

I believe that 4K and 5K and 8K cameras also only SHOOT progressive. Interlaced tops out at 1080i.

DNxHD 175 is a full res online codec. You use that for offline? The offline codec is DNxHD 36…or things like 14:1 in SD. DNx175…yeah, that’s a full res finishing codec.
If you are working with 8K footage, you’ll need to be looking at the DNxHR codecs…available when you make an 2K project or higher. So make an 8K project, link the media, and then transcode. DNxHR HQ or HQx are high quality. VERY high quality. You’ll need fast drives or a good RAID to play back 8K at those resolutions. OR…you can work in an offline resolution that’s still 8K. DNxHR LB (Low Bandwidth). … and re-transcode to a finishing codec when done.

Where is this XML from? It might be a newer XML format that the 9 year old software just can’t read.

Don’t change the file name BEFORE importing. No no..keep that as is. And when you import, keep the name there too, and only add to the COMMENTS. Or, keep the name, but put a description before it, or after it. Like….
“A00023C – CU man walking down street.” or “CU Man walking down street – A00023C”
Make sure to keep the name in case you need to manually relink for any reason.
