If we are getting fields back from the temporal API, but we want a
full interlaced frame, is the following a valid way for us to re-
create the interlaced frame:
1) Get 720x240 field buffer at time n
2) Get 720x240 field buffer at time n + .5
3) Combine the two fields (field order correct of course)
We do need actual fields in our plugin and not something that is line
doubled.
And Paul is right that media does get scaled automatically, which is
nasty, but I thought after much searching I found a way to turn that
off. Yet another manual entry for us I think.
Thanks,
Micah

Right now, FCP's implementation of the temporalAPI will always give
you the native format of the media. In other words, if you use the
temporalAPI on a progressive clip, you'll get a full frame back,
even if you are in an interlaced timeline. This is arguably
confusing, since it's not the same as the input image that we pass
to filters (input images are in the timeline format, not the media
format). I think Paul Miller has a good point here.
