Dow! I dunno why I thought u recorded in 24P given the thread title, but anyways… perhaps possible you experienced the same thing as me? Thought it was set to progressive but wasn’t… that’s my thoughts, peace.

Ok, well after some research and studying I can finally wrap my head around the issue. And yes, Mr. Dave LaRonde is correct. But let me explain the camera a bit more. What threw me off is that I thought I had recorded in 30p but the camera reset to a scene file with the progressive off, so I indeed recorded in interlaced. Since you indeed recorded in 24P, its a hybrid ghetto 24P that’s unfortunately interlaced and the best thing I know to do is throw the de-interlacing filter in final cut pro on it which isn’t awful but not cool to say the least when you’re looking for high quality. The DVX100 is only a mid level/prosumer camera, for the price it packs a punch, but it can’t do everything, it’s also getting dated a bit. Anyways, the only setting for progressive on the DVX100 that will actually turn out looking progressive in the edit down is 30P. If you wanted to telecine it down to 24 from there that’s the best you’d get. If this was all gibberish my apologies. I at least feel accomplished to have learned something useful. Best of luck to you and your projects. Take it easy.

Nah, I used these cameras through college years back, trust me, these camera’s can deliver a nice image for standard definition. This isn’t a normal case, I’ve edited with Final cut with this type of camera tons of times before. I happened to buy this camera used and haven’t been able to prove that it works correct yet. I’ve recorded in every format and imported on all settings, most obviously 29.97 dv ntsc, because thats really the only way this camera should be imported. Something is up, a problem with our cameras… I’ve run it by other video editors also. If I ever figure it out I’ll let you know just for the sake of knowing. lol Anyways, thanks for responding. Peace.

Wondering if you were able to figure out your problem? I’m experiencing the same issue on my DVX100ap. On 60i, 24p, and 30p… no matter what I record in or change settings on both the camera or FCP, it interlaces at log and capture. And get this… I taped over something, and when it switches over to the stuff taped by the other camera that video is fine and un-interlaced. It makes me think as well that there is some setting I can’t figure out about how the DVX should record to produce properly synced fields and video, or my DVX is broken in some odd way? ANY HELP FROM ANYONE PLEASE! Thanks! I’d b so greatful!
