Hi there !
I have this little problem with FCP
6.0.1:
We are working with fcp project in SD 25FPS PAL uncompressed
4:2:2 (blackmagic card)
The project MUST be progressive. All the
footage are. They also are encoded with Quicktime pro, in Blackmagic codec
(uncompressed 4.2.2) which doesn't provide any field options.
So we
set our FCP sequence to fielddominance "none" in order to not have any
field on effect or transition we should add on the timeline, when
rendering.
BUT ! the footages, when dropped in the timeline or
relinked (manually or via xml import), are seen by FCP as "interlaced"
upper priority.
this is a big problem because FCP tries to
deinterlace them in order to have them "fit" into its progressive
timeline... deinterlacing non interlaced footage is prety ugly, we loose a
lot's of vertical quality.
Is there a way to avoid that ? for the
moment, the only solution we have is to select every shot in the timeline
and change shot by shot the fieldominance from upper to none... this is
pretty long because there is a lot's of shots, no way to change it
massively into FCP ui, and editing/reimporting an xml doesn't seems to work
(FCP re-check the field dominance when reconnecting media to this
"corrected" xml, and all changes are lost...)
Do you guys have any
ideas ?
cheers
David.
